GOP Candidate Leads Bizarre Double Life

Florida congressional hopeful Jacob Rush (R) portrays himself as the ultimate “conservative straight shooter” in a video on his campaign website, St. Peters Blog reports.

The video “certainly hits all the right marks by featuring a series of heartwarming and inspiring images: Rush placing his hand on a Bible, as a father of a newborn, even initiating a group of enthusiastic schoolchildren on the values of the U.S. Constitution.”

“What the slick video does not mention is that Rush – as ‘Chazz Darling,’ ‘Staas van der Winst’ and a host of other roles – was a long-time member of the Mind’s Eye Society… Mind’s Eye, or MES, is a nationwide community of gothic-punk role-players who come together to take on personas of vampires and other supernatural beings (known as Kindred), dealing with night-to-night struggles ‘against their own bestial natures, hunters, and each other.'”
