Mike Webb, a current U.S. Congressional hopeful in Virginia, is a Jersey City born and bred politician described as a "Baptist Sinner Saved By Grace" on his Facebook election page.

Mike Webb for Congress Facebook Page

That same page was the center of a slew of social media ridicule Monday, after the conservative candidate uploaded a screen shot of his browser featuring two tabs easily identified as pornography, according to multiple national and local news outlets.

The tabs read "IVONE SEXY AMATEUR" and "LAYLA RIVERA TIGHT BO...," saved screen grabs revealed.

But the Republican, running in Virginia's 8th District as an Independent after losing nomination, has doubled-down on the gaffe touting his prowess on Facebook through Bible quotes and social media analytics.

"Today's notorious post reached almost 200,000 people. The succeeding post reached a little more than a tenth of that, and all through the viral infection of social media and word of mouth. And, I certainly received my share of "interesting" comments, but no more out of the ordinary than what I have received since beginning this quest. But, the truly amazing thing about today was that 'I saw also the Lord, high and lifted up'..."

Webb, in an email written to Gawker, blew off the idea suggested to him by commenters that he consider hiring a social media director. He also said he didn't really see an issue with looking at those pages.

Yet, in another Facebook post that has since been taken down, Webb wrote he was testing the sites to verify if those pages were the source of an alleged cyber attack that kept him from filing his a report with Federal Election Commission before its deadline, according to the Daily News.

Currently, Webb's website for his 2016 run is down.
