A Democratic congressman was caught red-handed looking at inappropriate pictures while on a flight this week, forcing him to do damage control.
On Friday, footage emerged of Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) looking at scantily clad women on his iPad while on a plane. The images were first leaked by the account Dear White Staffers.
The account alleged that the images were pornographic.
“Why did California Congressman Brad Sherman feel it was appropriate to look at porn on his iPad during a flight today?” the account asks. “His district deserves better representation than this!!”

Here is a closer look at the photos in question. In the first one, you can see how ‘happy’ Sherman looks.
After the images went viral, Sherman ran to Punchbowl News’ John Bresnahan to give his side of the story.
Sherman claimed the images were not pornographic at all. Instead, he said that the photos just happened to show up in his Twitter feed under the “For You” heading.
In other words, this was X/Twitter’s fault.
“This was on Twitter. These pictures came up on ‘For You,’” he told Bresnahan.
I must’ve looked at more than 1000 posts,” Sherman added. “Is it pornography? I don’t think Elon Musk thinks so.”
Sherman also denied that he had any problem with pornography, blaming the algorithms on X.
Then he added an interesting detail.
“If I see a picture of a woman, might I look at it longer than a sunset? Yeah,” he said.
No one was buying Sherman’s excuse, however. Many pointed out that the algorithm responds to similar tweets you have previously searched for.
Weird I don’t have this type of content in my for you page and I’m terminally on X

‘For You’ feed is recommended based on the type of content you find engaging.
He couldn’t even lie properly.
His PR time is gonna have a hard time now!
