Hate Group Claims WV Gov Candidate Is Secretly Gay

The Real West Virginia reports:

On March 5, a website called The Pittsburgh Observer ran a “story” with the headline, “Moore Capito Could Become West Virginia’s First Gay Governor.” It looks like a legitimate news story. A quick glance at the website shows a handful of other news stories about national politics, a lady being attacked by a bear, and local sports.

But according to reporting by Kyle Vass, The Pittsburgh Observer went out of business in 2011. The website was then purchased last month by Caiden Cowger. Cowger is a political consultant from Upshur County and President of the Family Policy Council of WV.

A close reading of the original Capito story shows no author, no sources, and no quotes. All it contains is a publicly available picture and a salacious narrative about a leading gubernatorial candidate (whose mother also serves as one of the state’s US Senators).

Moore Capito [photo] launched his bid for governor in 2022. Also that year his mother, GOP Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, voted to advance the Equality Act, which surely plays a part in the attack on her son.

Caiden Cowger first appeared on JMG way back in 2012 when as a teenager he became a Tea Party darling for viral claims about Obama supposedly turning children gay.

The following year he was banned by YouTube for anti-gay hate speech, but it appears that he resurfaced there with a different account.

More recently, it seems that Cowger is working as a pastor, as you can see below in his 2023 sermon on “avoiding demonic doctrines.”

The Family Policy Council WV is affiliated with the anti-LGBTQ hate group, Focus On The Family.
