Despite His Videos, Wyoming Politicos Say Reid Rasner Campaign Is Not A Parody

Reid Rasner’s campaign for Wyoming’s lone U.S. House seat is not a satire or a parody, state politicos say. But if it were, his campaign commercial performances would earn an A-grade, a retired drama coach told Cowboy State Daily. Rasner was among the earliest to declare for what is now a 10-person GOP primary contest for the seat, which incumbent Rep. Harriet Hageman is vacating to run for U.S. Senate. His campaign videos range from policy discussions to outright comedic and dramatic acting. His social media presence and output quantity are unrivaled in this race.

Rasner led a widely panned March video post with “No more fat kids!” and urged revival of the presidential fitness test. More recently, he posted a video that leads with him shouting, “I just watched a man walk into the women’s restroom, come on let’s get him out of here!” before kicking open stall doors. In another video, he deploys Trump-like vocal inflections while voicing outrage at a porta-potty with both male and female restroom insignia. “Why do we need a tranny-pottie?” he asks.
