Businessman Bill Berrien entered the race to be the Republican nominee for Wisconsin governor a little less than three months ago. He tried awfully hard to win Trump’s support, kissing Trump’s big orange ass every chance he could. He went so far as to propose interstate trade wars with tariffs.
It was all in vain though, because Berrien would never pass MAGA’s purity tests. He had donated to Nicki Haley when she was running for president, criticized Trump’s handling of the COVID pandemic, and supported rank choice voting. But all that is small potatoes compared to his latest blunder.
Like most Republicans, MAGA or not, Berrien took a pro-trad family and was against providing health care or basic respect to trans people. At least, that’s what he said publicly. What he did privately was a whole other story:
The Journal Sentinel reported this week revealed that, while campaigning as a conservative leader who stands up for family values who said transgender individuals are engaged in “radical social experimentation,” Berrien followed a transgender porn star on Medium.com named Jiz Lee. He also was following publications called “Sexography” and “Polyamory Today,” links that he scrubbed after being contacted by the Journal Sentinel.
