Pennsylvania Porngate Scandal Somehow Involves Leaked Emails, Blatant Racism, Rampant Misogyny, and Twins

Pennsylvania is receiving some unexpected shine this holiday season in the form of the aptly dubbed "porngate" scandal, which is somehow much stranger and more complicated than you probably think.
