The funny thing that I forget to mention initially is that there’s been a recent “sex scandal” here in Virginia involving a Democrat:
To explain in my own words (to the best of my understanding; apologies if I’m inaccurate with some of these detail), VA Republican Glenn Youngkin’s team recently leaked some sex vids of a local Virginia Democrat politician, Susanna Gibson (40yo, mother of two). The vids are of her and her lawyer husband having sex on Chaturbate livestream for political donations. Camgirl stuff. I won’t describe the acts, but they do get rather… kinky.
Anyways, Dems are calling this out as a cheap tactic by Repubs to smear Gibson. At the same time, some Dems wanna throw Gibson under the bus, believing her now-exposed past is drawing too much controversy and is thus detrimental to the Democratic Party. Gibson herself went so far as to describe the digging up of her livestreams as “revenge porn” (the posting of which is considered a serious crime).
(I’m not too familiar with the laws surrounding revenge porn. I’ve heard conflicting information. Some day that these vids do NOT count as revenge porn because they were always publicly available, just not known to the public until recently. If these were private videos that got leaked, they’d count. But since they were public from the start…)
(On the other hand, I’ve seen some argue that they should count as revenge porn due to the malicious intent behind exposing these vids. Again, I’m not sure how a judge would see it.)
Repubs made a big stink about what a pervert Gibson is and then THIS Boebert thing gets exposed. At least Gibson kept it in her bedroom and didn’t involve children being present…!
(BTW, I love how Youngkin’s Virginia recently tried restricting porn (something I detailed here: Virginia age-verification law) yet now Youngkin’s cronies are specifically directing people to go look at Gibson’s vids to humiliate her. Hypocrites…)
