Transgender Democrat faces GOP backlash in Maine Senate race

Ashley Webb is a Democrat contender in the Maine Senate race to replace Graham Platner.

Webb faced Republican backlash after a public debate, with videos shared online by conservative profiles.

During the debate, Webb mistakenly used 'pork bellying' instead of the term 'pork barreling'.

When asked about qualifications, Webb said she is a songwriter and writes her own books, drawing criticism including being called a 'deadbeat songwriter'.

Webb also discussed transgender community issues, saying she doesn't want to hurt anyone and just wants to use the bathroom without being assaulted.
