The post pretty quickly disappeared from his account - though not before being shared by over 1.6k users - but Mike, who has clearly never heard of the Incognito browser, was determined to come out (ahem) fighting. He decided to introduce another (humongous) post with the line, "THANKS FOR THE TAB CHECK, RANGER BUDDIES!" and a biblical reference, before claiming that the tabs were the result of a virus that had infected his computer.
On top of this, Webb declared that the dodgy screenshot had seen his page likes increase by 25 per cent in one day. He also said the "notorious" post - which he seemed to be treating more like a sort-of internet badge of honour than a spectacular f*ck-up by this point - had reached 200,000 people. There's no publicity like porn-loving publicity, it seems.
The Facebook reaction to the bizarre explanation was a mixture of amusement, disgust and memes.
Mostly memes, though.
And the whole affair was probably best summarised by a commenter named Alex Frank.
Webb proudly handles all of his social media accounts himself, and signs off each post with the line, "I am Mike Webb, and I am running for U.S. Congress. Honest."
Too honest, Mike, Too honest.
