A failed Virginia House candidate who was caught having sex online for money is now claiming to be the victim, though surprise, surprise, no one believes her or her allies.
Allies like Politico, which published an article on Susanna Gibson on Saturday that portrayed her as the victim of evil, Machiavellian Republicans.
“It's not often that a state legislative campaign in an off-season election seizes the national spotlight,” the piece says. “But that's what happened in September, when the Washington Post revealed that an up-and-coming Democrat from Virginia, Susanna Gibson, had previously been caught on video having sex with her husband online.”
“The video, a recording of an explicit live stream that the Post said had been uploaded elsewhere on the Internet, had been shared by a Republican political operative, according to the document. The Post report changed Gibson's life, not to mention his candidacy,” he continues.
Oh no!
Susanna Gibson lost her election after her online sex life was exposed. He's talking now.https://t.co/Jbh5rPu5Vo

What exactly did Gibson do? she performed sexual acts with her husband live on the Internet for advice through a video streaming website called Chaturbate. He basically produced porn for money, which is legal but very, very frowned upon, especially in the political arena.
“Gibson and her husband appeared in more than a dozen videos that were filed on a site called Chaturbate in September 2022, which is after she officially entered the race for delegate, and the most recent videos are they filed on September 30, 2022, ” according to Fox News.
And then when they broke her, her campaign fell apart, causing her to lose the race and cry that was a victim.
Once the news broke and Republican operatives shared the story before Election Day, Gibson insisted he was the victim of “an illegal invasion of my privacy designed to humiliate me and my family.” He continued to run until he lost,” notes Fox News.
Months later, he's still crying, much to the chagrin of critics.
You start screwing up on camera, you run around the office, someone finds your web page, and then you cry victim? Don't stick the camera if you don't want to be caught. Pretty simple

“My whole life was shaken on 9/11, when he published the article. He ran, implying that I had sex online with my husband for money. It was actually written from this Dropbox file that self-described Republican operatives bought. They had found these videos on the dark web and bought them to various media outlets. I had no idea there were ever videos of me that were taken and uploaded to multiple sites,” he told Politico.
“I think it was September 7th, I was at the clinic seeing patients and a reporter contacted my campaign, trying to get my phone number. That's how I found out. When you find out that there are sexually explicit videos of you online, especially when contacted by national journalists, is a feeling I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy,” he added.
But critics say it's a “feeling” he could have avoided by simply not producing porn in the first place. Critics also disagree with his use of the term “implicate”.

It doesn't help that Gibson is now looking for revenge.
“Gibson alleges that the political operative [who leaked the Chaturbate videos] turned to revenge porn and is looking to take legal action against them to “hold them accountable” once he finds out who did it. He also plans to advocate for Virginia to strengthen its current revenge porn law,” he said Richmond Times-Dispatch reported earlier this month.
Critics, some of them fellow Democrats, don't appreciate it either.
Look at:
It's not revenge porn. Give me a break bro.
And yes, I'm a demo.

He's doing some complicated mental gymnastics if he thinks he can convince any intelligent person that the porn he PUBLISHED is now “revenge porn”.

Politico is also facing some heat for publishing a story about her and suggesting she was “exposed,” when in fact she was.
Look at:
Exposed? I don't think you know what that word means.

Um, pretty sure it's been exposed. She was a sex worker on Chaturbate.

He sold his body on the internet… for money.
And he said explicitly that he had cheated on his spouse. He then threatened to sue anyone who noticed.
But since she is a Dem, you will act like she is the victim!
