VA: Commonwealth's attorney candidate (R) addresses past social media activity

Matt Lowery, the Republican candidate for Prince William commonwealth’s attorney, has raised some eyebrows with past social media activity.

Until recently, Lowery occasionally used a personal, though still public, Twitter account (the site now known as X) to amplify his campaign’s message, retweeting posts from his official candidate account.

But that personal account – which included Lowery's full name and the handle @dtxblacksheep12 – also publicly followed at least 25 explicitly pornographic accounts on the site. Additionally, Lowery’s official candidate Twitter account publicly liked a post in which a male actor, Jason Luv, describes in graphic detail a recent pornographic shoot he was on.

When contacted by InsideNoVa, Lowery claimed that he never liked the video on his official candidate page. He also said he thought his personal account was shut down and that the people he followed seemed to be “mostly bots.”
