E Pluribus Shock

[Blind Gossip] We told you many months ago that this politician was worried that he might have blown his chance to be President of The United States.

He always assumed that having a girlfriend was necessary to gain acceptance to a broader audience.

So he was quite shocked to see that Pete Buttigieg was doing well as an openly gay candidate!

Once our candidate exited the race, you might have thought it was all over.

Think again.

He wants back in!

He thinks he can get back in at the Vice President slot. He’s going to have to sell himself all over again. He needs to do something different this go round, so he’s seriously thinking of “adjusting” his personal story.

That “adjustment”? His sexual preference.

We told you that he was thinking about doing this a year ago! 

He can’t say he has been gay all along without being branded a liar about other issues. He thinks that the most sensible thing for him to do would be for him to take the interim step and announce that he is bi. That way he keeps the celebrity girlfriend and expands his base.

So, is it purely a coincidence that his girlfriend is suddenly talking about being bisexual?

No, it’s all part of the strategy. This eases the path for him in case he decides to do it himself. She can say that she’s always known that about him and that commonality is why they care for and accept each other.

Bring on the Hollywood money and the LGBTQ money!

    Totally. He can’t even stand next to Rosario Dawson without looking fake as hell. He should have talked to Buttigieg about how to come out. This bi thing seems super fake. It hurts her because nobody believes her and it hurts him because nobody will believe him and it hurts the actual bisexuals out there whose actual sexual preferences are being coopted by a frightened, self-hating politician.

    Bingo! It’s 100% the lying. Better to have said/done nothing than to perpetuate a charade that paints you into a corner with beards and photo ops. AND now you’re untrustworthy…

    Unless Cory says he is transitioning to female it’s too little too late.
    If the nominee is male, the VP slot will go to a female.
    Maybe Warren would nominate him but I don’t see any of the others doing it.
    Besides Bloomberg is gonna buy it.

    I live in Europe (Germany) and here it would be absolutely unthinkable to even bring something as personal as someone’s sexuality up. Candidates are solely judged by their political performances and as long as they don’t do (or accused of) something illegal or appalling mentioning and gossiping about or badmouthing a politician‘s personal life would be an absolute taboo.

    Booker, of course.

    It must hurt him that he blatantly lies to boost his career and a guy that nobody knew a year ago had not problem in getting way better results than you without hiding

    How I hate Corey Booker, let me count the ways. He couldn’t manage Newark, let alone the USA. Go away Spartacus.

  13. LolaBird says

    Spartacus Booker and Rosario Dawson. This strategy is pretty cynical and desperate, but that is Corey’s usual MO.

  16. wendybar says

    Oh Corey….You suck as a Senator in New Jersey. There is no way I would vote for anybody who picks you!!! So you “dumped” Rosario??? You chump. Everybody knows you are gay. Get over yourself!!!

    Cory Booker

    Dumb strategy. Leave it alone, Cory. You’re not going to get on the ticket even as a running mate.

    I do not think this is a good idea, he will seem inauthentic but maybe that’s just because I know too much. If he paid me for advice I’d say no

    Cory Booke and Rosario Dawson.

    As a NJ girl, I loved him and would have voted for him if he had gotten the nomination. However, I don’t think there is a chance in Hell that he will be picked for the VP slot.

    Fuck Corey Booker.
    People like him are the reason actual bisexuals can’t be taken seriously.
    Everyone says “going bi” is the first step to “going gay.”
    No.
    Corey Booker is not bisexual.
    Never has been.
    He’s scapegoating his own community for political clout.
    Go away.

  30. blubelle says

    That ship has sailed, Cory Booker. No one will ever see you as authentic or honest… but then, most politicians are pandering liars, so…. whatever.

  34. stillmb says

    I think Cory is just going to have to come clean. And i think he’s going to have to take the next 4 years to work on that. Too many people have already known his story for years, He just needs to be honest with himself & the people. Stop trying to create a narrative and just live your life.

    Cory (He may live in the projects, but ladies, he ain’t no project!) Booker

    Rosario Dawson

    Too late strategy, too late for him

    Cory the WORST Mayor ever in the history of Newark New Jersey Booker…….Please……Everyone in Jersey knows about his fake life with Rosia Dawson……

    Rosario Dawson (I always have to Google her name)
    Bad idea — it smells of desperation, and people would see right through it. Cant believe I used to think he was presidential material.

  45. Pinkieswear says

    Corey Booker.

    Really? He’s a phony and a jerk. He should find another line of work, one where he’s NOT being paid by the taxpayers.

  46. zappy2050 says

    This is Corey Booker and I don’t think it will work.

    To begin, I think he is just not as popular and as important as he think he has – that is problem #1.

    Mayor Pete comes across as honest and straightforward and I think people like that. This is not just for his sexual orientation (which is nobody’s business). I think he is just someone who seems as if he is not up to any tricks and is leveling with you. The same couldn’t be said for Corey – who has long been in the closet.

  50. gailpow says

    Oh no, another go around with Corey Booker and his beard Rosario Dawson, who just came out as bisexual. Vice President is a long shot for shifty chameleon Booker.

  52. badgerette85 says

    Booker and Dawson
    Op- no…people see through this deception. Should have been up up front from the start. If he can’t be honest about himself, can only imagine the fakery if he became CIC.

  54. BooStrawberry says

    Corey booker and Rosario Dawson

    Go away Booker! No one cares!!

    What a pathetic society is overtaking our world. Now instead of being a leader, someone who gets things done, is in line with what one stands for, etc – people are running and getting elected on race, gender, how/when they were allegedly victimized/discriminated against, & sexual preference, etc. Ridiculous.
    You get what you vote for.. look @ his record.

  61. beachchick218 says

    Cory Booker. He already claimed to be Spartacus. He could claim to be anything and he STILL doesn’t have a chance of being nominated chief dog catcher. He didn’t do anything for New Jersey and he isn’t going to be an asset to anyone. Unless, they play the race card. And knowing the democrats, that is right out of their playbook.

    Thirsty they are
    Cory Booker
    Rosario Dawson, just read about her “coming out”
    Are there no honest politicians left??!!

  64. amagod121 says

    Cory Booker.

    Rosario Dawson.

    Jeez. What a phony. Hard to respect him now. Buttigeig was wise to just jump in as he is. I’d much rather know the truth, and it takes commendable courage to tell a truth that isn’t palatable to all.

    “Girlfriend”: Rosario Dawson

    Well, of course coming out will be difficult since he pretended to be straight and now his voters will -rightly- think that he deceived them. That’s the exact same reason why most celebrities who began bearding when the world was less accepting towards LGBT+ people won’t ditch the charade and come out. People don’t like to be lied to. I don’t think that most people care anymore about celebrities’ sexualities.
