Voters swiped left on swinger and amateur pornographer Susanna Gibson on Tuesday.
The Democrat faced calls to suspend her campaign after it was revealed that she raised money performing sex acts on the pornographic website Chaturbate, criticism she refused to take lying down. Still, she lost by a narrow margin to Republican David Owen, who will serve as delegate for Virginia’s 57th district in 2024.
Gibson’s defeat suggests her political career reached a climax on Tuesday evening. Voters in Virginia were less likely to try new things than Gibson hoped, opting for conservative businessman Owen’s message of bringing “common sense” to the Richmond-area district that includes Goochland County.
[Gibson would take exception to Simonson’s description of Gibson as an “amateur pornographer.” Gibson was a *professional* pornographer, publishing her oeuvre for significant income. That’s what made her allegations against Republicans of engaging in “revenge porn” so ridiculous. This will likely be the last we hear of Gibson, unless you’re willing to buy tokens for her next show. — Ed]
