An uncovered video of a Democratic relieving herself outdoors, and then posting the video online for her followers, has shaken up an election in Virginia.
The “pee tape” was posted online by the Democratic candidate for Virginia’s 71st district, Jessica Anderson. The video drew quick comparisons to moonlighting Virginia pornstar-turned-Democratic candidate Susanna Gibson, who is running for election in the 57th district.
The footage quickly went viral.
Critics blasted the video Anderson had proudly shared —
Instead of using the public toilets while out running at Freedom Park in Williamsburg, Anderson merely left the trail, and, as we used to say, “dropped trou.” Not only was she not concerned about being seen by others, including children, but she recorded and narrated the entire thing.

Anderson is trying to unseat incumbent Republican state Rep. Amanda Batten, the House Majority Caucus Chair, in Virginia’s upcoming Nov. 7 election.
Anderson quickly defended her public urination video, claiming she broke no laws by filming and publishing her “pee tape” and called her critics desperate.
“FUN FACT: Runners, particularly endurance runners, have to urinate while out on a run. Whether you’re running in a park, the woods, the city streets, etc. it happens,” Anderson posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “And if you’re lucky you find a porta potty or a real bathroom, but otherwise you use Mother Nature. And apparently my silly running vlogs from a couple years ago is now ‘news worthy’ because I showed the reality of running and the fact sometimes we pee while out on a run (and no, you don’t see me pee). The desperation in the final days is absolutely hysterical”.
“Also I did not break VA law,” her posts continued. “I was off the path by more than 200 feet and out of public view (it was deserted) and there was no public restroom nearby at the time. This man may break a hip with the reach he’s attempting”.
