The Candidate Caught in a Nazi Porn Scandal Is Today’s GOP Personified
Meet John Reid, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor in Virginia, who embodies the modern GOP with his normcore style and talk-radio voice.
Reid has been embroiled in a scandal since May, when research from an anti-Reid faction in the state GOP alleged that he was behind a Tumblr account, "JRDeux," which posted explicit content, including penis pics.
Reid denied he was responsible for the account, claiming he was the victim of a smear campaign for being openly gay.
Despite his denial, the scandal has persisted, with American Journal News revealing that the Tumblr blog also contained Nazi porn content.
Reid's party, including Governor Glenn Youngkin, has objected to his candidacy, but he remains on the ticket.
- Reid's Instagram account has the same handle as the Tumblr account, "JRDeux".
- Early voting is underway in the November 4 election.
