Exclusive | Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez’s wild past of fetish parties, drugs and gruesome chicken stunt exposed

A blue-collar Democrat running to keep her seat in rural Washington has a secret drug-fueled past filled with kinky fetish parties, nudism and an alleged fondness for nitrous oxide “whippets.” 

Before Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez took control of Washington’s Trump-friendly 3rd Congressional District outside Portland, she was a budding college politician who presided over a “Latex Fetish Ball,” drugged-up nude frolics and even an LSD giveaway, according to social media posts unearthed by The California Post.

Ex-roomies further have alleged that the Dem rising star was once an avid “dumpster diver” who offered spoiled avocados in exchange for rent while crashing in a friend’s “crawl space” — and once sawed a chicken’s head off during an ill-fated experiment in urban farming. 

Perez, who attended the ultra-liberal Reed College in Portland, Oregon, was a student senator who helmed the finance committee in 2012. 

The student senate’s posts on X from the time show Gluesenkamp Perez securing $4,000 to throw a latex-heavy “Fetish Ball” featuring a DJ and a “dark room.” 

The school’s Fetish Club, which hosted the event, was known for teaching courses such as BDSM 201, which introduced students to “flogging and caning, violet wand, and basic rope bondage,” and a “kinky crafts” course on creating do-it-yourself bondage gear. 

She also fought to secure funding for the raunchy Renn Fayre, an annual campus festival that includes a freewheeling nude jog by groups of students calling themselves “Picts,” who don body paint to put their genitals on display for groups of alumni.

The $74,000/year liberal arts school is known for its permissive drug culture, even circulating a user’s guide to “pot and alcohol, cocaine, amphetamines, ‘benzos,’ LSD, DMT, mescaline, MDMA, PCP, ketamine, nitrous oxide, opiates, depressants and psilocybin” authored by students, Willamette Week reported in 2008.

Gluesenkamp Perez’s senate offered an “LSD giveaway” in 2012 at the student union and promoted Nitrogen Day, when students would gather to do nitrous oxide, also known as whippets, on the quad.

Former roommates of Gluesenkamp Perez spilled more allegations about the Democrat’s wild early years, claiming she went to extremes to avoid rent payments while living in a pal’s “crawl space.” 

On a January episode of podcast COEXIST, Inc., Isaac Eger claimed the future congressman crashed on their couch after a breakup before relocating to an attic hovel above the garage.

She claimed she couldn’t afford the “$50, $75 a month” he was charging, Eger recalled, and attempted to barter old fruit and meat in exchange for rent, once offering “four feet of rotten avocados.” 

“The kind of avodaco where you can’t even turn it into guacamole or anything. And she’s like, ‘here’s rent,’” the ex-pal recalled. “And I was like, uh, no, absolutely not.

“She would literally never pay rent,” he added.

Eger described Glusenkamp Perez as a “Portland dumpster diver” who even brazenly decapitated a chicken as horrified roommates frantically googled humane ways to kill the animal.

She was allegedly known to peddle “extremely low-quality weed” out of a van after graduating from Reed, according to investigative journalist Dan Boguslaw, who also attended Reed College. 

The origin of the dirt weed was unknown, Boguslaw reported on The Insurgents podcast, but the fledgling Dem power broker is alleged to have moved large quantities of low-quality cannabis by loitering around Reed’s campus. 

Gluesenkamp Perez graduated from Reed College in 2012 and was a “thoughtful, creative student” with a “reputation for being down for anything,” according to a profile in the school’s alumni publication. 

She later served on the Washington Democrats Executive Committee, helping to pass a platform that included decriminalizing drugs and sex work. 

The congresswoman didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Gluesenkamp Perez shocked the nation in 2022 when she flipped her rural district, defeating Republican Joe Kent and pitching herself as a blue-collar Democratic problem-solver. 

However, she infuriated progressives by crossing party lines to vote for a Department of Homeland Security funding package that included $10 billion for ICE.

“The Department of Homeland Security is extremely important to my community. I could not in good conscience vote to shut it down,” she said at the time. 

She is now running in a tough reelection fight against Republican state senate minority leader John Braun.
