The transgender TikToker Dylan Mulvaney has found an unusual way to get one back against the Republican who duped her into taking part in a stunt to boost his political campaign.
Mulvaney says she will donate all the proceeds she raises from the celebrity video messaging service Cameo this month to help children in war-ravaged Gaza.
The 27-year-old says this is payback against North Dakota House candidate Rick Becker, who commissioned Mulvaney to record a Cameo post to smear a rival in the GOP primary.
In her new post, Mulvaney refers to Becker as a ‘conservative politician’ who was ‘using the video to bully his opponent.’
‘I would like to use their hate and ignorance to do something of better use by using my Cameo to raise money for Save the Children, which is an organization that currently has operations set up in Gaza,’ Mulvaney says.
In her new TikTok post, Dylan Mulvaney says she had ‘no idea’ that Republican House candidate Rick Becker would use the Cameo video as a campaign stunt
‘And 100 percent of my cameo profits for the next month will be donated to Save the Children.’
Mulvaney also called for a ‘permanent ceasefire’ in Israel’s assault on Hamas militants in Gaza — which has killed some 36,000 Palestinians, according to the strip’s health chiefs.
Mulvaney became a boogeyman for conservatives during her promotional tie-up last year with Bud Light, which many saw as the latest example of an all-American brand bowing to LGBTQ+ wokery.
Becker hired Mulvaney through the Cameo service to troll his opponent in North Dakota’s Republican primary contest against the state’s Public Service Commissioner Julie Fedorchak earlier this month.
‘Hi Julie!’ Mulvaney said in the ironic Cameo clip, ‘I wanted to make you this video because your friend Rick told me that you have a huge job change coming up.’
‘From what I understand, you just spent like 10 or more years in North Dakota like basically saving the planet and like promoting green energy and reducing harmful coal plants,’ Mulvaney said.
‘You are now going to the DC zoo to be working with rhinos! Babe, that is insane.’
Mulvaney was seemingly unaware that the Cameo would be used in the GOP House race — and of the double meaning of RINO (Republican in Name Only).
The scripted references to Fedorchak’s anti-coal policies were set to hurt her among Republican voters in the mining state.
In her new post, Mulvaney says she had ‘absolutely no idea the intent behind it.’

She acknowledges that she is the ‘most gullible person in the world.’
Mulvaney’s Cameo page says that her proceeds this month will help Save Children’s operations in Gaza.
It’s not clear how much this is likely to raise. Mulvaney charges $50 per video recording.
Becker, a MAGA Republican, has on social media taken tough lines against transgenderism, which he calls a ‘mental illness,’ and the war in Gaza.
On social media, he has said Israel should ‘obliterate and fully exterminate Hamas.’
Still, he does not appear to object to providing aid to children in the bombed-out Palestinian territory.
Becker and Fedorchak are both running in a primary to replace Rep. Kelly Armstrong, who is vacating the seat to run for governor, in the state’s only House seat.
The June 11 primary also includes attorney and former 2018 Miss America Cara Mund and state party-endorsed Alex Balasz.
Mulvaney achieved internet stardom in 2022 by launching her hit TikTok series, Days of Girlhood, in which she documents her transition from a young man to a ‘girl.’
She’s made millions of dollars by endorsing cosmetics, fashion and other products, appeared with President Joe Biden at the White House, and appeared alongside Hollywood celebrities.
Last April she posted a video to promote a Bud Light giveaway, saying the company had sent her a tallboy can with her face on it to celebrate her sex change.
This irked conservatives, who said a favorite beer had ‘gone woke.’

They railed on social media and boycotted the drink, costing parent company Anheuser-Busch $400 million in sales — a 13.5 percent slump.
The fallout led to a devastating stretch for Bud Light, where it suffered repeat double-digit revenue drops on a near-weekly basis.
Mulvaney went on to earn $2 million from promotional work last year, landing deals with Nike and Mac, and she appeared at the Golden Globes in January.
She was in December named on Forbes’ 30 under 30 list.
The magazine praised her for withstanding the Bud Light fall-out and Mulvaney slammed the beer company for throwing her to the wolves.
