Virginia Democrats Demand John Reid Exit Lieutenant Governor Race Over Nazi Porn Scandal
John Reid, the Virginia Republican lieutenant governor nominee, is facing calls to withdraw from the race after allegations linked him to a Tumblr blog that reposted Nazi-themed pornography and violent sexual content. The blog, which has since been deleted, amplified content from other accounts featuring white supremacist slogans, sexual violence, and Nazi fetishism. Reid, who uses the same handle on other platforms, has denied ownership of the Tumblr account, calling the revelations a “coordinated smear.” Democratic lawmakers have condemned the alleged activity, while Reid has framed the backlash as antigay bigotry and vowed to stay in the race.
