Democratic Party ‘essentially Pornhub’ amid Susanna Gibson scandal

Fox News host Laura Ingraham slammed the Democratic Party for being “essentially Pornhub” during a Thursday segment on Virginia House of Delegates candidate Susanna Gibson taking part in pornographic livestreams with her husband.

The 40-year-old mother of two young children and her husband made headlines earlier this week when it was revealed they performed sex acts online — and asked their virtual audience to pitch in with “tips.”

“Alright, this is a real headline from the AP, ‘Virginia candidate who livestreamed sex videos draws support from women and a leading Democrat.’ Why is this something that women are supporting?” Ingraham asked on “The Ingraham Angle.”

“No one leaked these videos of this Virginia candidate, she put them on a porn website for money, but somehow this is now a rallying cry for respect? What are women doing to themselves?”

Ingraham turned to “Fox and Friends” co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy for her reaction.

“The fact that we’re even talking about this, and this involves just not a woman, but a mother of two, a nurse in a suburban district, I mean this just shows how far we’ve fallen as a civilization,” Campos-Duffy replied.

“It’s shameful, and now she’s coming out and saying this is a crime. The crime is against her family, and by the way, let’s not let her husband off the hook,” she continued.

“I think it’s important to note that she performed these acts for money with her husband involved as well, so, these are not good people and the Democratic Party isn’t distancing themselves at all from this.

“They’re doubling down, they are fundraising for her,” Campos-Duffy said, adding that Gibson is endorsed by Eric Holder, “which pretty much means she’s practically endorsed by the Obamas.”

The “Fox & Friends” host said Gibson’s scandal is a “real sign of the pornification of America, the normalization of things that should not be normal for a mother of two.”

Ingraham then compared the party to the popular porn website.

“Looks like the Democrat Party is just Pornhub,” she said. “It’s not a hub for economic growth, but it is essentially Pornhub.

“Congratulations, women,” she snarked before turning over the conversation to her guest, author Peachy Keenan.

“Yeah, I mean I have an iron rule of politics — if you scratch a Democrat, sometimes you’ll expose a degenerate,” the author said.

“This is the progressive lifestyle, and if you follow it all the way, it will lead you right into the gutter.”

Gibson, the candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates, hosted more than a dozen live romps with her husband on Chaturbate, which was then posted to a publicly accessible archive on the website Recurbate in September 2022 after she declared her candidacy, the Washington Post first reported Monday.

She also apparently maintained her Chaturbate profile after having announced her campaign in July 2022, uploading at least one picture of herself on the sex-streaming site the following month, according to a screenshot obtained by The Post.

In a statement to the Washington Post, Gibson — who primarily works as a nurse practitioner — called the publicly posted videos “an illegal invasion of my privacy designed to humiliate me and my family.

“It won’t intimidate me and it won’t silence me,” she said. “My political opponents and their Republican allies have proven they’re willing to commit a sex crime to attack me and my family because there’s no line they won’t cross to silence women when they speak up.”

The candidate’s attorney, Daniel P. Watkins, also told the outlet that the archived videos violated Virginia’s revenge porn law, which makes it a Class 1 misdemeanor to “maliciously” circulate sexual images or another person’s nudity with “intent to coerce, harass, or intimidate.”

He cited a Virginia Appeals Court ruling in 2021 that it was illegal for a man to secretly record his girlfriend during a consensual sexual encounter even if that video was never shared with others.

“We are working closely with state and federal law enforcement,” Watkins said.
