A Virginia Democrat is accusing her Republican opponent of being a "devotee of Bigfoot erotica" based on screenshots he appeared to have posted of a Bigfoot with a large penis.
Leslie Cockburn lives in rural Rappahannock County and is running against Denver Riggleman in the state's 5th Congressional district, which includes parts of Charlottesville.
Cockburn, a former journalist turned Democratic hopeful, had previously criticized Riggleman, a distillery owner, for campaigning with the state's GOP Senate candidate, Corey Stewart, a neo-Confederate.
But then she came across disturbing images on his Instagram.
Cockburn said that Riggleman was "not what we need."
Cockburn's post was met with rage by several self-identified progressive white men who to accused her of "kink-shaming" and said that they hope she loses as a result.
