Oh no, you see he was just passing by when he noticed that the farmworker was possessed and he decided to perform an impromptu exorcism.

It's like a snakebite. He's sucking the demon seed out.

So the tape came out after he won the primary but before the election. The GOP tried to push a write in campaign for his primary opponent. Some said they'd vote for the dem candidate. But due to republican gerrymandering, the sucker still won.

Remember folks: while the Right wing of American politics actively tries to distract you with culture war nonsense, the topics they choose for their culture war are chosen from their own personal closet of skeletons.

He won his election by the way

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Despite Republican Party opposition and a write-in campaign - but because gerrymandering it was a cinch for him to win

I wonder how many conservatives would be liveral if they received some good therapy.

Why do you think they do their best to restrict access to mental healthcare?

I am always feeling liveral after my latest transplant.

You could have a million gotchas. A trillion examples of hypocrisy. They dont care. They care about power.

Well, they are ready to take it. What are you going to do about it?

Omg! Like every time! Every time there's an anti LGBT politician they're always caught doing something gay!

Like it's some kind of law of the universe!

I've always known no straight man could really give that much of a fuck about gay people

Remember the Hungarian homophobe official caught in a huge gay orgy, which also had other bigots from government in it? He broke his nose jumping out of a window, if I'm not mistaken.

As a gay man, I don't know why people think "cocksucker" is an insult.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Latent homophobia or misogyny. Pussylicker isn't ever used as an insult.

Stories like this are very upsetting, all these republican religious nuts out there sucking cock and going to gay orgies. I might have to convert.

If Schmidt gives a truly amazing blow job, this may be his transformation story. Started out as a fascist, Christian nationalist politician, and after a getting tragically shunned goes on a journey of self-discovery and becomes the sweetest sex worker in Wisconsin.

Now this is the kind of political news I want to see.

All politicians should be kept busy with being sexual deviants, so that their avarice and freakery is not let loose on actual policy.

God bless the perverts, for they do no harm.

Straight off Wikipedia

Days after the primary, it was revealed that Schmidt had been the victim of a blackmail attempt by a worker on his family farm, who had a video of Schmidt performing oral sex on another man.[3] The same week, another story came to light in which Schmidt had been charged with a felony for choking another worker on his farm, but had pleaded it down to a misdemeanor.[4]

If he called "no homo" before he sucked the dick then it doesn't count.

Damn I guess Republicans treat their employees better than I thought.

I was going to say it sounds like some potential AI BS but since this happened over 2 years ago the AI back then wasn't as good.

I hate stories like this because it makes it seem like there's something wrong with being gay.

I get that we're supposed to dislike this guy because he's a hypocrite, but that's not what is written. What's written is "giving a blow job".

Am I just being I over-sensitive here?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago

If an avowed homophobe turns out to be gay, they should absolutely be called out for their hypocrisy.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

I think pointing out the hypocrisy of these people is good overall. I don't think it is saying being gay and giving blow jobs as a man is bad. It is saying someone that is opposing the rights of gay people getting caught having some sort of gay sexual acts shows how ridiculous it is to be against the rights of others to be gay.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

It just to show the hipocrisy. Republicans oppose everything homosexual but at the sane time show that it is something some still partake in. If anything, it shows that being a republican is hiding yourself. Giving a blowjob to men is what he opposes, but what he apparently enjoys. The blowjob itself is not the subject of the post.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes.

The shaming part is that he is gay / bi and is using his power to erase / subjugate the LGBTQ groups

He's a fucking hypocrite

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Yes, you’re being overly sensitive here.

The negative thing on display isn’t the blowjob, it’s the harm he causes to others while himself engaging in the very acts he attacks.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

you are completely misrepresenting the story... the entire point is that he is a hypocrite, the fact that he is a hypocrite about being gay is completely irrelevant

Lots of bots and stuff in here claiming AI video from 2022.

I guess this is the new con/fascist/nazi defense reflex. Or.. I guess it's the same fake news defense, just now we're blaming computers instead of just people
