It's the same old story, with new cast members exposed on a regular basis. Scratch a "family values" MAGAt Republican, and you get a raging hypocrite:
A Republican manufacturer running for governor in Wisconsin as a conservative supporter of “family values” and President Donald Trump followed numerous sexually explicit accounts online, including a nonbinary pornography performer.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Monday that Bill Berrien, the CEO of Pindel Global Precision and one of two announced 2026 Republican candidates for governor, unfollowed several accounts in recent days after the newspaper asked about the matter.
Berrien, in a statement to The Associated Press, downplayed any concerns about his online activity.
“There are a lot of important issues that are affecting our state and nation," he said in the statement, “but what is the mainstream media focused on right now? Some stupid articles I read years ago, not the plans I have to reindustrialize our state, turn the economy around, and bring prosperity for all through work." [snip]
Berrien has been critical of transgender people in the opening weeks of his candidacy. On his campaign website, he says “our daughters’ sports teams and locker rooms are at risk because of radical social experimentation.”
But the Journal Sentinel reported that Berrien has an account on the online platform Medium.com where he followed nonbinary porn performer Jiz Lee and several other authors of sexually explicit essays. He also followed “publications,” which are similar to blogs, that dealt with exploring sexuality, including having relationships with multiple partners.
Berrien stopped following the accounts of 23 people, including the most sexually explicit ones, after the Journal Sentinel asked about his history on the website, the newspaper reported... (our emphasis)
With another Republican in the race, it's likely Berrien will be forced to return to his online accounts and sexytime blogs spend more time with his family. It's a shame because he's captured the essence of the MAGA movement and its cult leader: shameless deceit and repugnant hypocrisy. He could've been a star.

As a resident of the Badger state, I watch these stories with interest. Try as I might I can't bring myself to listen to WISN talk radio where all things Maga live. I may have to take some anti nausea medication and force myself to hear how they're spinning this. MR. Berrien does check off one very important box in that he's a former special ops warrior akin to Derrick Van Orten. That's all red Wisconsin needs to know. The governor's election here will be interesting. Hopefully we can weather the storm.
ReplyDeleteSeafury -- our guess is that he'll be forced out soon. But, maybe he'll get a post in the Trump assministration since he checks so many boxes!
