‘It feels like slut-shaming’: GOP candidate Sarah Stogner responds to dropped endorsement following nude TikTok


Texas Railroad Commissioner candidate Sarah Stogner turned heads earlier this week with the release of her latest campaign video—a short TikTok in which the oil and gas lawyer is seen sitting semi-nude riding the revolutions of a pump jack.

Captioned "They said I needed money. [laughing emoji] I have other assets," the Republican candidate's video garnered hundreds of retweets on Twitter and more than 27,000 views on TikTok. The clip also earned the ire of the San Antonio Express-News editorial board, which dropped its support of the first-time political candidate with a blistering missive days after publicly endorsing Stogner.

"We were disappointed to see a disgraceful TikTok video posted Sunday from Sarah Stogner, whom we recently recommended in the Republican primary for railroad commissioner," the paper's editorial board wrote, later specifically noting that the video's accompanying comment made it worse. "We rescind our recommendation."

The San Antonio Express News' editorial page editor Josh Brodesky contacted Stogner on Facebook after discovering the video and questioned whether she was hacked, according to screengrabs of messages she shared with us. Once Stogner confirmed she posted the video, Brodesky informed her that the board would be rescinding its recommendation.

2. I doubt that newspaper endorsements matter much at this point.

The whole thing will probably benefit her. Never hurts to be called “disgraceful” by some editorial board.

3. You have to at least pretend to be a serious person to get most newspapers' endorsements.

This is not a new standard, and it is separate from slut-shaming.

6. TFG destroyed that concept....and hence her approach.

I’m sure it will get her some male voters.
