Conservative congressional candidate shares screenshot, forgets to close porn windows

Mike Webb is a conservative candidate for the United States Congress (VA-8) and he’s hoping to bring “responsiveness and accountability” to Washington, D.C. From his campaign announcement:

“If we succeed in winning this race as a conservative Republican in the most liberal district in the nation and the most Democratic in the South, that will be a real revolution that will have national implications,” he said in a press release.


He is campaigning with a hands-on approach, insisting he does all of his own social media:

Unfortunately for Mike Webb, he’s probably now wishing he had someone running his social media. He shared a screenshot of his computer screen while trying to make a point (that was partial conspiracy theory) about trying to find employment and he forgot to close out a couple of tabs:

Oh, my! Fans of Mike Webb’s Facebook page were quick to point out that the two tabs above led to two porn sites. Needless to say, fans were amused:

If he took took responsibility for it, it might win him some favor and support. But who am I kidding? Take responsibility? He'll find someone or something to blame, that's for certain. Can't be his fault.

Those two porn sites are known for being for fans of anal sex. They've also commented on one of the shots of his telephone call list that one number is known for belonging to a company that provides billing for a number of different porn sites.

As a final insult, they are debating which is more embarrassing - having porn sites open on the browser or using Yahoo! as a search engine.

seeing for himself how bad this internet porn problem really is, because he is worried about the children.

No? Anyone?

OK, that wasn't even worth attempting.
