May 8

A sitting Republican Governor basically losing their public opinion to a Gay Republican is not anything you’d ever imagine happening.

It looks like Reid got through it (and Youngkin’s people vastly overreacted) but I still have questions. Someone planted a simmering attack bomb on Reid 10+ years ago? The Tumblr account was started in 2014. He wasn’t even in the radio yet. Despite his family political history, 10 years ago I can’t imagine there being that kind of effort towards a gay republican. Why would someone think he had any shot at all of running for anything in their party?
