Transgender and intersex Maine Senate candidate Ashley Webb sent social media astir after citing her ability to write songs as a qualification during a debate Thursday.
'What qualifications do you have to serve in the US Senate?' a moderator asked the outsized underdog attempting to replace Graham Platner.
'I ran for office several times, didn't win, but I did run and then, I'm a songwriter and then I write my own books,' Webb responded, with a laugh.
She went on to cite her 'transparency.'
'I wouldn't lie to people and I wouldn't deceive the people, like, we're being deceived right now, like we get lied to, smoke and mirrors, like what's going on with ICE.'
The moment immediately went viral on X, after the Republican National Committee's official account shared it to highlight its absurdity. The post has received more than 3 million views.
'Surely you can’t be serious…' conservative commentator Dave Rubin wrote.
Another right-leaning X account cited what they saw as 'The absolute state of Decay in Maine…'

You mean his, Alex.
Her?! That dude looks like Jackie Gleason in drag. And he was every bit as stupid as he looks.
Is this the best Democrats can muster from within their membership? It is almost as if they are trying to foist off the worst band of freaques and less-than-serious candidates they could possibly locate.
Very evil prank, and nobody is laughing. This is like tipping over outhouses for Halloween.
Jackie Gleason??? Naw I was thinking more like Meatloaf when he was younger.
“Jackie Gleason??? Naw I was thinking more like Meatloaf when he was younger.”
Good call. I agree.
“Brazen”? His answer was bizarre. What a clown.
When a man across from you is wearing a dress and make up, tells you his name is Ashley and that he is a woman, and then tells you that he will never try to deceive you, be careful.
The ability to write songs is a better qualification than what some of these Democrat freakshow politicians have!

That’s a guy, Alex. You write for a living, start acting like it.
They keep referring to him as “they” and I think I know why - he ate one of the other candidates.
He will never deceive them ... ahh, you sir/madam are deceiving yourself. How does that work when its comes to the trust and confidence of the electorate?
Transgender and intersex Democrat candidate, Ashley Webb.
“Her”? That’s a dude!
Ashley may become the frontrunner in this race. But Ashley’s unlikely to be anybody second choice.
The convention requires a majority to win. Ashley will have to try again in 2 years.
It’s a lovely frock he wearing, though. I can help but think grandma’s wondering what happened to the upholstery from her sofa
Who is this “her” they are talking about? That’s a really stupid, fat man. But I don’t know who this woman is that they’re talking about.
Reminds me of Meat Loaf in drag.
