Lara Trump’s New Hire For “Ballot Chaser” Is Gay Porn Maker

The Republican National Committee has been under new management one week now and this is how they end off their Friday with a bang. Meet Scott Presler, ladies and gentlemen. He’s quite a MAGA mover and shaker. If his name seems to be vaguely ringing a bell, he got into an imbroglio in Virginia Beach last year when he was having sex after hours in one of the RNC offices. That, in and of itself, is nothing unusual, but it was made noteworthy by the fact that photos of the encounter were posted on Craigslist (?) and the guy is openly gay. This is from Politico Playbook last March and Ron Filipkowski posted it on Twitter.

You show me a gay guy that works with the anti-gay Christian right and I’ll show you a man who hates himself. But you see that a lot in the GOP. You see Uncle Tom Blacks everywhere, too. And the women who run on the GOP ticket are almost beyond description, ditzy Marsha Blackburn, Marjorie FuckOffToReporters Taylor Greene, the inimitable Lauren Boebert, the unspeakable Katie Britt, and we could go on.

But let’s stay focused on the ballot harvesting ballot chaser, shall we? The Spectator, January 30. 2024:

As the Republican National Committee launches its annual Winter Meeting in Las Vegas, Trump allies are once again calling for the GOP to oust Ronna McDaniel as its chairwoman. Their preferred replacement? Scott Presler.

Presler, for those unfamiliar, first rose to social media and political fame by organizing a clean-up in Baltimore after the former president Donald Trump called the Maryland city a “disgusting, rat- and rodent-infested mess.” Since then, the activist better known on X as “#ThePersistence” launched a Republican voter registration effort and, subsequently, Early Vote Action, a political action committee aimed at getting Republicans to cast their votes before Election Day. Prior to all this, Presler was a co-founder of Gays for Trump during the 2016 election.

And what’s with the wolfman hair and the widow’s peak, rivalled only by Paul Ryan’s? Why, that’s an FU to the yous and mes. He’s owning the libs.

As Presler says, his long hair makes people think he is a liberal — and then he surprises them by talking about “America First.”

Presler’s name has been floated as a successor to McDaniel for years, particularly after the GOP’s inability to materialize a red wave in the 2022 midterm elections. Harmeet Dhillon, the conservative lawyer who became the most viable challenger to McDaniel in the last RNC chair battle, promised that if she were elected one of her first job offers would go to Presler.

For Presler’s part, he has been tweeting at McDaniel daily since last April demanding she lay out a plan to develop a conservative “army of influencers” that can reach youth voters. McDaniel has not responded to Presler’s messages, nor has the RNC shown any interest in hiring the young activist. […]

Cockburn can confirm via individuals familiar with the incident that Presler was indeed busted making gay porn in an RNC-funded office — and that it is a well-known piece of lore in DC campaign world.

Ironically, many of the same people boosting Presler to become RNC chair were condemning the Senator Ben Cardin staffer who, as Cockburn first revealed, filmed himself engaging in gay sex in the US Senate, presumably unaware that one of their political heroes had participated in practically the same behavior. In fact, Cockburn can’t help but wonder if that “twink” was inspired by word of Presler’s activities and wanted to one-up him by performing in an official government building…

McDaniel wanted nothing to do with him but Lara Trump thinks he’s perfect to hire. Let’s see what a ballot chaser is:

Definition and meaning of ballot chasing: Ballot chasing, also known as “ballot harvesting,” is a political practice involving the collection and submission of absentee or mail-in ballots by individuals other than the voter. While the specifics can vary by jurisdiction, this process typically involves party operatives, volunteers, or activists who collect completed ballots from voters to submit them to election officials.

The practice is controversial and subject to varying legal regulations across different regions. Proponents argue that ballot chasing helps increase voter turnout, particularly among groups who might find it challenging to submit their ballots themselves, such as the elderly, disabled, or those living in remote areas. It’s seen as a way to ensure that every vote is counted and can be particularly useful in large-scale elections where the volume of mail-in ballots is significant.

Critics, however, raise concerns about the potential for fraud and manipulation. They argue that allowing third parties to handle ballots could lead to undue influence over voters’ choices, loss or tampering of ballots, and challenges in verifying the authenticity of the votes. As such, some jurisdictions have strict laws limiting or entirely prohibiting the practice of ballot chasing, requiring voters to mail or submit their ballots personally.

And personally, I agree with voters being required to mail or submit ballots personally, except in case of a debilitating illness. If you are the only one to fill out your ballot, sign it, seal it, and deposit it in the U.S. Postal Service, then if anything goes wrong with it, you are the one to explain it or fix it. You get third parties involved and curing a defective ballot is going to turn into a nightmare.

That, however, is exactly what Trump seeks to do, is create a nightmare. So that agenda fits right in with this guy, Presler, who is straight off of the late night horror movie. The last time I saw that hairdo, Brad Pitt was sporting it in Interview With The Vampire. The only thing I want to know about Presler, is does he have a coffin in the basement with soil from his native land in it? I think that’s the next germane question to pose.
