(Washington) — Bigfoot has become an issue in the 5th District Congressional race.
Democratic nominee Leslie Cockburn has tweeted screenshots from an Instagram account of Denver Riggleman, the Republican nominee, showing images of Bigfoot naked but censored. Riggleman’s Instagram account includes a drawing of Bigfoot with a rather large and strategically placed “CENSORED” bar.
Cockburn wrote in a tweet that Riggleman “been exposed as a devotee of Bigfoot erotica,” adding: “This is not what we need on Capitol Hill.”
Riggleman calls the tweets “absurd” and says the doctored images are a joke his military friends played on him. When he posted the images, Riggleman said he never imagined they would be used against him politically.
