'It was a beautiful moment': Moore County drag show goes on despite power outages

Because some transsupremacist is saying it was done to prevent a drag show.
The FBI suspects it was Russians wearing MAGA hats.
Every story has to have a connection to the anti-groomer crowd. It’s the MSM narrative this year.
The drag queen part was added by some flaky drag-pro woman (or maybe a man posing as a woman?) who posted a comment on some news site. So of course the bigoted press took it and ran with it and created a narrative of Christians shooting out the power stations to prevent a drag show.
One of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.
“Why was there thought to add a drag queen to the story?”
There was considerable friction in that area over a drag show in Southern Pines. Libs are convinced that opponents shot up those substations to prevent the show from happening. It did occur during the show. I suppose that could be the case, but there is no evidence yet, just wild accusations.
I think whoever is responsible has a good general knowledge of how the grid works, and detailed knowledge of how it works in Moore county. I would think that they are interviewing a whole lot of Duke employees and contractors. I lean to some of our “guests” who arrived from the south, and who picked Moore county for a trial run, with the target picked by a foreign government or terrorist group. Just my $0.02 worth.
These substations are all fenced in. If I was young and ambitious, I would be working on some sort of bullet proof curtain that could be made cheaply and hung on a chain link fence.
