Republican Pennsylvania state House member and current 7th District US House candidate Ryan Mackenzie, 41, would have been 33 now if he had been the age he listed himself as being in the Tinder profile he set up in 2020 to find women to Netflix and Chill with during the pandemic, trashy British tabloid the Daily Mail reports with screenshots and a non-denial from Mackenzie to prove it.
Another issue is that it’s kind of ambiguous as to whether Mackenzie was already dating now-wife Chloe (or if she was initially duped by his digital de-aging), with a campaign spokesperson telling the Mail simply that the Republican was “neither married nor engaged” when the profile was active.
Mackenzie is currently trying to take down incumbent Dem Congresswoman Susan Wild in a deep purple Eastern Pennsylvania swing district that Biden won by 0.6 percent in 2020. Stupid and petty as this “scandal” is, it also paints him as simply cringey and insecure. Probably not good.
