An online forum featuring two candidates for California’s 1st District U.S. Congressional seat was rudely interrupted when a hacker broke into the live internet feed.
The organization Independent Like the North State organized the forum, which was open to the seven candidates competing for incumbent Doug LaMalfa’s seat; however, only two candidates were actually present.

Candidates Lewis Elbinger of the Green Party and David Peterson of the Democrat Party were in the middle of giving their opening remarks when video of two men having rough sex splashed across the screen.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
KRCR News reports:
Online viewers and listeners on radio station KFOI 90.9 FM had just heard opening statements from the two candidates when a video feed, clearly showing sexual acts between two men, filled the screen for several seconds shortly after 8:00 p.m. Thursday night.
The moderator could be heard saying, “Looks like we got hacked again, we’ll try to fix this.” The feed was then shut down.
Afterward, moderator Chris Verrill called the incident “disappointing” but said it’s all “part of the way democracy works.”
“We had some pranksters decide to go on and not respect ‘Independent Like the North State,’ the two candidates that were there, or the democratic process or our community and that’s disappointing,” Verrill said.
Organizers say they hope to reschedule the debate soon and are working on resolving some security issues to avoid any future pornographic disruptions.

It’s the DEMOCRATIC Party. Using the term “Democrat Party” sounds like Trump.
Also, did the scene contain water sports, fisting, BDSM? Not all gay porn (or straight porn for that matter) is “raunchy”, unless you’re a “rethuglican”.

THANK YOU for pointing out the author’s fail on the party’s name. “Democrat Party” is an affectation of the Tea Party–subsequently adopted by the alt-right–that attempts to deny any association between Democrats (members of the party) and the democratic process.

No, Russell1947 and MajorTom, DEMOCRAT Party is correct, as it is a proper noun. To say Democratic Party is to use the word democratic as an adjective. The counterpart for the other political party would be REPUBLICISM party. So, in this case, Trump is right.

Oops …… I meant to write “REPUBLICANISM”.

Well come on….
Exactly what is “rough sex” these days?
Hair-pulling, butt-slapping and name-calling is tame now, but some writers are still living in the 70’s LOL.
Work my imagination.

The station shut down the feed? What idiots. They would have got much higher ratings if they showed the gay porn.

Where’s the video? A picture’s worth a thousand words! Let us be the judges of how raunchy it was!

Just a video of gay men doing to eachother what politicians have been doing to taxpayers for decades (although with less desirable results).

As well as without lube.

They weren’t hacked, probably the person running the feed had another window open on their computer and accidentally switched it over. Hacked….(Snicker)
