SIGN UP FOR OUR By Wendy Anders
Hustler’s Larry Flynt, a paraplegic since the age of 35, from Facebook.
Pornographer Larry Flynt announced he would pay up to $1 million for video or audio recordings of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump engaged in illegal behavior or acting in a sexually demeaning manner toward women, reported the Los Angeles Times yesterday
“I have always celebrated women. Women in all shapes and sizes,” the publisher of Hustler magazine said in a statement. “To treat a woman like Mr. Trump himself has is both disappointing and unbelievable, especially coming from someone who wants to be our president.”
Flynt has also come under fire for exploiting and degrading women through his magazine and online site, which carry explicit pictures of naked women, said the paper.
Flynt’s effort comes shortly after the emergence of a 2005 recording of Trump using vulgar language to describe women, and saying he could kiss them and grope them because of his celebrity status. Trump has dismissed his words as “locker room talk” and denied acting in a sexually aggressive manner, leading several women to come out publicly with allegations of sexual misconduct by Trump. He has denied all such accusations.
Flynt, a Democrat who has vowed to leave the U.S. if Trump wins, has a history of offering to pay for evidence of politicians’ misdeeds. During former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial, Flynt made such an offer and received information about Clinton’s extramarital affairs from Rep. Bob Livingston. The Louisiana Republican, then slated to be the next House Speaker, responded by resigning from Congress.
