A candidate in a closely-watched Virginia congressional race is trying to smear her GOP opponent by claiming he is a “devotee of Bigfoot erotica.”
Kassy Dillon, at the Daily Wire, reports:
Leslie Cockburn, the Democratic candidate for Virginia’s 5th District has accused her opponent, Denver Riggleman, on Twitter claiming he has been “exposed.” The tweet included a picture from Riggleman’s Instagram account of a “Bigfoot” with a back “censored” box over his . . . er . . . private areas.
“This is not what we need on Capitol Hill,” Cockburn tweeted.
Riggleman told The Washington Post that he has no interest in Bigfoot erotica, and that “we’re stunned by it.”
“There is no way that anybody’s dumb enough to think this is real.”
In a clarifying statement on Twitter, Riggleman admitted to writing a satirical book about Bigfoot believers intended for his military buddies, which included an illustration of a censored Bigfoot in an attempt at humor.
Yes-I wrote a book about Bigfoot believers. Bigfoot pics by military bubbas are meant to be funny. I didn’t know what Bigfoot Erotica was until @LeslieCockburn mentioned it. Weird things happening in her campaign-Let’s stick to issues and Leslie’s book. #bigfoot #DangerousLiaison

It doesn’t get any more petty and bizarre than campaign season in Virginia.
