Minnesota Republican U.S. Senate candidate Adam Schwarze is facing backlash after a report claimed his official X account followed a transgender pornography account while he publicly campaigned against transgender ideology and gender-related policies.
The report, published Tuesday by Loomered, alleged Schwarze’s verified X account followed an explicit transgender porn account known as “Shef****” as recently as April 14. According to the outlet, Schwarze’s account was following just 51 accounts at the time, and the pornographic account was among them.
Screenshots published by the outlet appeared to show the account listed among Schwarze’s followers before later disappearing, with his following count reportedly dropping from 51 to 50 after the account was removed.
The allegations quickly sparked accusations of hypocrisy because Adam Schwarze has made opposition to transgender ideology one of the central themes of his Senate campaign.

On April 6, Schwarze posted on X: “Boys belong in boys sports and girls belong in girls. Our women and girls deserve more than men infiltrating their sports for personal gain. In the United States Senate, I’ll make sure we always protect women.”
The Minnesota Republican also previously tied transgender activism to what he described as a broader “mental health crisis.”
“Another day, another tragic shooting by a radicalized trans person,” Schwarze wrote in a February post highlighted by Loomered. “Our country is suffering from a mental health crisis and it’s time that we send someone to the United States Senate who understands basic biology — a man is a man and a woman is a woman. This madness needs to stop and I’m the only candidate we can trust to address it.”
In another February post, Schwarze wrote: “We have to stop ‘treating’ mental illness with woke nonsense and radical gender ideology. It’s gone too far we all know it, we are paying a price for it. I’m not afraid to say it and condemn it.”
Loomered also pointed to Schwarze’s campaign website, which reportedly places opposition to men competing in women’s sports near the top of his policy priorities.
As of Wednesday morning, Schwarze had not publicly responded to the allegations. The account in question also no longer appeared among the accounts his X profile follows, according to the report.
