“On the Holmes Front,” with Frank Holmes
Election authorities say a Democrat running for office in Virginia who moonlights as a pornstar has been a bad, bad girl…and the scandal has nothing to do with her bedroom antics.
Officials say the Democrat, who had sex for money on camera, may have committed an election offense that undermines the integrity of the ballot.
The Louisa County Sheriff’s Department has opened an investigation into whether Susanna Gibson and an accomplice, who is a paralegal, knowingly committed perjury.
Officers say the signature on the paper Gibson had to file to run for office, known as a Certificate of Candidate Qualification, looks nothing like the signature she signed on another document (the Statement of Economic Interests).
To make matters even murkier, Gibson’s phony-looking signature was penned on February 13…but the notary who swore it was authentic, Donna L. Martin, signed the form a day later—on Valentine’s Day.
That could land Gibson, a 40-year-old nurse practitioner who says she’s running for office to preserve abortion, in hot water.
The form she signed informed Gibson and Martin that “knowingly making any untrue statement or entry in this document is a felony under Virginia law. The punishment is a maximum fine of $2,500 and/or confinement for up to ten years. Also, you lose your right to vote.”
She’d have to do a lot of online business to pay that off.
Susanna Gibson made headlines when the public learned that the liberal candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates had sex online for money.
Gibson and her husband, John David Gibson, performed acts in exchange for money on a website called Chaturbate, where patrons could request that she and her husband engage in progressively more extreme sexual encounters in exchange for “tokens,” which they could trade in for cash.
“I’ll let you f*** me in the a** doggy style in a private room if someone wants to pay. That’s the deal,” Gibson says in one clip.
“Y’all can watch me pee if you tip me and some tokens – again, I’m raising money for a good cause,” she said in another online video.
At one point, she said she made the videos to raise money for “a good cause.” She entered the Democratic Delegate’s race shortly afterwards, with what is now suspected to be a false signature.
Looking at her husband, the signature may not be the first time she’s had to fake it.
In one video, Susanna Gibson shared that she already had sex with three men that day. “Don’t tell my husband he was the third,” she said in front of her husband, because “he doesn’t like sharing,”
“Sometimes I have to though,” the husband says. “She makes me.”
Republicans raised the explicit videos as soon as they broke—leading Gibson to say she had been victimized.
Gibson claimed Republicans raising the issue had committed “an illegal invasion of my privacy designed to humiliate me.” She didn’t explain how pointing to videos she posted on a public website, with no paywall, violated her privacy.
In fact, Gibson ranked her Republican opponents alongside rapists. “My political opponents and their Republican allies have proven they’re willing to commit a sex crime to attack me and my family,” Gibson accused the GOP, “because there’s no line they won’t cross to silence women when they speak up.”
If Gibson’s videos were deemed to violate obscenity laws, Gibson and her husband would have committed “a sex crime.”
My MAGA Republican opponents will stop at nothing to silence women in order to take away our rights. I’ll never stop fighting for our reproductive freedom. Make sure to VOTE on or before November 7, 2023. pic.twitter.com/PjRi3MxldJ

After the videos came to light, Republicans sent out a mailer of highly edited screenshots, which Gibson posted online.
“Gibson’s campaign has falsely alleged that the videos of her publicly engaging in sexual activity on publicly accessible pornography websites were ‘leaked’ by Republicans. In reality, the opposite is true,” Republican Party of Virginia Chairman Rich Anderson. “After revelation of her very public acts, polling now shows her to be 11 points behind her Republican opponent.”
In fact, 56 percent of voters say Gibson should bow out of the race. That number includes 44 percent of Democrats, according to a Founders Insight poll.
Nevertheless, has Gibson refused to quit the race, believing Democrats will overlook her scandalous online behavior.
In 2010, Bill Clinton slammed Republican Senate voters for nominating “the wrestling federation lady in Connecticut and the witchcraft lady in Delaware – I tell you, so far, they’ve gathered up everybody for this Tea Party but the Mad Hatter.”
What would he say about the Democrats’ decision to stick with the porn lady?
Either way, her signature scandal may lead the Gibsons to a case of electus interruptus—disqualifying her from holding the office she went to such degrading measures to obtain.
