I could not care less about such a thing when it comes to a candidate and I wish no one else would either.
She’s being accused of…having sex with her husband lmfao
Now let’s cut to a montage of all the elected men who fucked around on their spouses and had no consequences
Let's start with Trump. Although he may actually face some consequences on that front for once.
If she was anti porn it would be an issue. If she bill herself as a "good Christian", it would be an issue. If it was legal, so what? Porn-loving self professed Christians likely won't vote for her though.
Where's the problem? She and her husband were obviously consenting, the viewers were consenting.
Who the hell cares.
Who cares
Old people and strict Catholics who unfortunately make up 120% of voters.
The real controversy is that somehow Wapo and AP decided to assist a GOP operative in violating Virginia's revenge porn laws
I'm pleased to find this as the top comment. It summarizes my reaction perfectly.
Seems fine. Sex workers are allowed to have political opinions. These were consenting adults. This wasn't infidelity, because it was a married couple. There's really no controversy here, unless you think sex is intrinsically a bad thing, in which case you're probably repressing yourself and everyone else
Not to mention this is 2023. A candidate who is naked on the internet was bound to happen and we’ve been saying it for over a decade. Okay, it happened. Can we move on and discuss the outrageous problems we as a country and as an entire species are facing? That’s be great.
When Mary Carey ran for governor of California, she didn't get many votes, but people treated her like a serious candidate. And she was (is?) a porn star.
I don't see the problem here.
Oh gosh this is absolutely terrible.
Where?
I'm betting OnlyFans and I have no idea why the AP is being so prudish about it.
The issue is that the videos were deleted from the original site and are now being hosted elsewhere without her consent.
Chaturbate is mentioned.
The videos were pretty standard sex between her and her husband. Honestly, it'd be cool if they just owned it- respond to gotcha questions at debates etc with a shrug and a "yeah, so?" explain how to tip through the various platforms and then give people links. Seems like reacting as if it's shameful just gives right-wing scolds leverage.
The only difference between this and other sex scandals that Republicans have ignored is that in this case the woman consented. I'm therefore forced to conclude that they believe consent is the problem. Men can rape all they want because men are dumb animals who just grab women by the pussy and have no actual moral agency, and a woman being raped isn't an issue because she didn't want to do it and is therefore "morally intact". Sex is only a scandal if it's not straight, or if the woman consents. Both of those represent wilfull violations of the rules of their death cult, and must be punished.
They (the GOP) Had no problems with Melania Trump's naked photos and infact praised her for being so "bold and beautiful" 🤮🤢 but they have a problem with a ("one") Man and ("One") women who are married to each other hosting naked photos of themselves.... and they do not realize the leopards feasting on their faces? Or is that shock and adrenaline keeping them from noticing lmao 🤣😂 fuck the hypocritical GOP fascist..
So? Oh no, someone's having a sex life? Get fucked, prudes. Literally. It'll help you loosen up a bit.
What's the issue here? Other than GQP weirdos upset that they can't get laid?
Yet if she was advocating for guns and straight-up shooting political competitors, and a GOP, she’d be feted as ‘standing up for American values’.
Oh God, how dare we elect a sexual deviant!
I hope that one day our culture moves past this sexual shame bullshit so that grown adults doing completely legal things with each other don't have to worry about shamed for crap like this.
People are going to have to start getting over themselves. As time goes on, there are going to be more and more candidates with similar shit. Younger Millennials/older gen z are going to have a lot who were on Onlyfans. Eventually someone is going to add it to their donate links. As long as it’s consensual, who gives a fuck.
Someone’s about to get a ton more monthly subscribers
Erections have consequences.
so???
this is a good strategy!
Conservatives are judt weirded out because their sex scandals involve rape/children.
Imagine caring at all
And?
Lol we live in a post trump post bobert world, y'all really think there is anything that would shock me about this story
AP was light on photos, MSN doesn’t share that reluctance: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/virginia-house-democratic-candidate-performed-sex-acts-with-husband-on-webcam-for-tips/ar-AA1gA7t7
okay? a man and woman (or man/man, or woman/woman, or…) should be able to do what they want, as long as enthusiastic consent is given.
