This might be the most 2018 headline I’ve ever written. The current political environment makes me feel like we’re all part of one ginormous, dysfunctional family that desperately needs to go to therapy at least three times a week.
On to the story at hand…
Democrat Leslie Cockburn is running against Republican Denver Riggleman in the House race for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District. The race has taken an ugly and bizarre turn, with Cockburn (OMG her last name makes this story even WORSE) accusing Riggleman of being into Bigfoot erotica. She’s basing this off a picture Riggleman posted– a picture of a Bigfoot with ginormous junk.
My opponent Denver Riggleman, running mate of Corey Stewart, was caught on camera campaigning with a white supremacist. Now he has been exposed as a devotee of Bigfoot erotica. This is not what we need on Capitol Hill. pic.twitter.com/0eBvxFd6sG

What is even HAPPENING anymore? Is this really what we’re resorting to? Also, Bigfoot erotica is A Thing WHY??????

Everything about this is weird and disturbing. BOTH sides. I don’t even know.
Also: Bigfoot erotica was JUST what 2018 was missing.

Was it though? Was it REALLY? I could really do without all of this.
Need confirmation that he is a true devotee and not simply pandering to the Bigfoot erotica lobby
