I honestly can't tell what happened here... The article is confusing as hell and I can't tell if its just too early in the morning for me, or if I'm dumb 😅
Cameo is a website where you can pay famous people to send a recorded message to someone. People often use it to troll people (google the Zelensky controversy when a bunch of celebs unwittingly parroted Russian propaganda).
In this case, a GOP official used it to make it look like his opponent was pro-LGBTQ issues, which is a bad thing in Republican's eyes. They paid Mulvaney to say "thank you [insert candidate's name here] so much for helping our cause" on video, basically.
Weirdest part of the article imo is how they only call out the misgendering as an afterthought.
Yeah, but where's the "severe backfire"?
I think the author thinks that their articles carry more weight than they do and having the article written about it is the backfire?
