Republican Gubernatorial hopeful Bill Berrien had been in the running to become Wisconsins next leader, before the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on the former Navy seals apparent enthusiasm for adult content creators on Medium, of all places. Among the accounts Berrien followed was one belonging to Jiz Lee, an influential queer pornstar who was born a woman but uses they/them pronouns. Berriens since pulled out of the race, issuing a lengthy statement in which he said it was in the best interest of the party, voters, donors, and my family that hes now decided to end my campaign, adding somewhat bizarrely he had no idea that running for political office could be almost as dangerous [as] hunting down war criminals in Bosnia. His withdrawal bears certain similarity to the controversy surrounding former GOP lieutenant governor of North Carolina Mark Robinson, who was exposed last year for frequenting transgender porn sites, as well as identifying online as a Black Nazi and expressing support for slavery as something that should be brought back.

Doesnt it seem MAGA whiners get all uppity when they decide not to run for office as themselves. The horrors. Hunting down war criminals in Bosnia? Lying incessantly about liberals. Pretending to be Christian. Yo Dude, just tell your wife no more porn for you. It wont matter if you lie. You are what you are.

And for what? For reading! Berrien said. Nothing illegal, nothing unethical, and nothing immoral. Just reading. Wouldnt you want your political and business leaders (and all of society, frankly) to be widely read and thoughtful and aware of different perspectives and ideas?
