A Canadian former Olympic snowboarder stands accused of running an extensive drug trafficking ring that was responsible for shipping around 60 tons of cocaine into the United States in addition to murdering multiple individuals, per federal officials.  Ryan Wedding is a 43-year-old Canadian who has been living in Mexico. He and 15 other individuals were indicted Thursday for multiple charges, per ABC News. Wedding is currently considered a fugitive. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for any information leading to his arrest. U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada said during a press briefing that Wedding and his associates have been running a “prolific and ruthless” operation that’s responsible for shipping “literally tons of cocaine into the United States and Canada.” The organization was making billions of dollars in the drug trade, which they moved around using cryptocurrency. “Ryan James Wedding is wanted for allegedly running and participating in a transnational drug trafficking operation that routinely shipped hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia, through Mexico and Southern California, to Canada, and other locations in the United States,” the FBI announced. “Additionally, it is alleged that Wedding was involved in orchestrating multiple murders in furtherance of these drug crimes.” Wedding goes by aliases including “El Jefe,” “Giant,” and “Public Enemy.” He had formerly competed for Canada in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. He placed 24th in the parallel giant slalom and did not compete in future games.  The former Olympic athlete is charged with eight felonies, including two counts of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, one count of conspiracy to export cocaine, one count of leading a continuing criminal enterprise, three counts of murder in connection with a continuing criminal enterprise and drug crime, and one count of attempt to commit murder in connection with a continuing criminal enterprise and drug crime.  MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 The DOJ reports to have seized “more than one ton of cocaine” during the investigation and also recovered several weapons, more than $255,000 in cash, and $3.2 million in cryptocurrency. “The Wedding Drug Trafficking Organization and its unremitting, callous and greed-driven crimes has been operating for far too long, spanning several countries, from Colombia through Mexico, the U.S. and to Canada,” said Matthew Allen, a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Agency.  “They have triggered an avalanche of violent crimes, including brutal murders. Wedding, the Olympian snowboarder, went from navigating slopes to contouring a life of incessant crimes. DEA and our partners stand firmly in our resolve to dismantle his operation.”  

In a move that has sparked widespread outrage, a judge from RuPaul's Drag Race has come under fire for endorsing former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. The reality TV figure, whose identity has not been officially confirmed but is reportedly associated with a conservative-leaning stance, faced intense backlash from both fans of the show and the broader LGBTQ+ community. Known for its progressive views, the Drag Race fanbase has largely supported left-wing candidates in the past, making this endorsement a shocking deviation. The uproar gained momentum on social media, where critics accused the judge of betraying the values of inclusion and equality often celebrated on the show. Some prominent voices in the community have voiced concern over the potential negative impact of such an endorsement, particularly with Trump’s previous support of policies like the military ban on transgender individuals.

Levi recently argued that the entertainment industry unfairly marginalizes conservative voices, claiming that Hollywood’s predominantly liberal nature makes it difficult for right-leaning celebrities to speak up without risking their careers​. Former RuPaul’s Drag Race judge told to ‘sashay away’ following Donald Trump endorsements https://t.co/3E5ihmBZPS — Attitude Magazine (@AttitudeMag) October 16, 2024 The RuPaul's Drag Race judge’s endorsement has sparked a debate over the role of public figures in the political sphere, especially within the entertainment industry. Some argue that personal political beliefs should remain private, particularly for individuals whose careers depend on maintaining a fanbase that may not share the same views. However, others have come to the defense of the judge, asserting that everyone has a right to their political opinions, regardless of public reception. In response to the backlash, the judge reportedly posted on social media defending their decision, suggesting that their support for Trump stems from his economic policies and their belief that he is better suited to lead the country forward. While the post has since been deleted, screenshots circulated widely, reigniting the debate over the intersection of politics and entertainment. The fallout from this endorsement mirrors the broader political divisions in the U.S., with celebrities increasingly finding themselves at the center of these clashes. With Trump vying for the White House again in 2024, endorsements from notable figures continue to polarize not just fans but the media as well. As the election draws closer, more celebrities are likely to face scrutiny for their political stances, especially when they diverge from the expected norms within their industries. The controversy surrounding the RuPaul's Drag Race judge is indicative of the larger cultural struggle between traditional conservative values and the progressive ideals of many entertainment platforms. This endorsement has forced a difficult conversation within the drag and LGBTQ+ communities about the importance of political alignment and how it impacts the broader struggle for equality. Despite the backlash, the judge appears to be standing by their choice, signaling that the controversy may only intensify as the 2024 election looms closer.
