Hillary Clinton appears to have cornered the market on endorsements from the sex trade.
Hillary Clinton appears to have cornered the market on endorsements from the sex trade.
Two weeks after a group of Nevada prostitutes calling themselves 'Hookers for Hillary' came out in favor of her presidential candidacy, pornography publisher Larry Flynt is throwing his support behind her.
'I'm endorsing Hillary Clinton for president, but I don’t think she needs my endorsement,' Flynt told Bloomberg during an interview in his Los Angeles office.
Flynt said he's basing his thinking on the need for a more liberal U.S. Supreme Court – presumably one that won't pare back Americans' freedom to indulge in the skin trade.
NOD FROM THE SKIN TRADE: 'Hustler' publisher Larry Flynt says he's supporting Hillary Clinton for president because she would make sure the Supreme Court tilts to the left
HE DID WHAT? Clinton's campaign hasn't reacted to the news that she now has the support of the world's most famous brothel and a top-tier pornographer
'They wind up making the rules that everybody else lives by, and we've had a right-leaning court for half a century, and it's time that that was changed' he said, sitting in a gold-plated wheelchair that has been his short-distance transportation since he was paralyzed in a 1978 shooting.
'But if Hillary gets in, chances are she’s going to have an opportunity to appoint two, maybe three justices. We could shift the balance of that.'
Clinton's campaign won't be sending him a thank-you letter anytime soon, judging from its silence when the Nevada hookers posed in front of the infamous Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Carson City to cheer for her White House bid.
Flynt doesn't much care. And he knows that the feminist wing of the Democratic Party will never make peace with him, especially with a female candidate as their standard-bearer.
'People in Gloria Steinem’s world, they don’t – they think I’m the misogynist of the century,' the publisher of the smut-mag 'Hustler' conceded.
'I'm sure that Hillary doesn’t necessarily approve of everything I do. But if I've got a choice betwen anything I've seen in the Republican field, or Hillary, I'm gonna vote for her.'
He said, though, that he would approve of her campaign taking a more bare-knuckle approach to 'Clinton Cash,' the anti-Clinton book by Peter Schweizer that has made countless national headlines in advance of its May 5 release date.
'All she needs to do is start fighting back,' he said.
Flynt compared Schweizer's one-man Clinton bashing campaign to the late Rev. Jerry Falwell's crusade against Bill Clinton during his 1990s presidency.
'One of the biggest evangelists in the world put out a video accusing President Clinton of murder,' Flynt recalled.
The book, he said, 'is the same kind of smear tactic.'

Unlike Falwell's targeted smear, Clinton Cash is endlessly footnoted and has, so far, withstood intense media scrutiny as select news outlets got copies early. (Daily Mail Online was among them.)
Bloomberg published a 97-second video excerpt of its interview with Flynt online on Friday.
In contrast with Flynt's focus on the future makeup of the nation's highest court, the Bunny Ranch ladies of the evening said on their website that they’re supporting Clinton because of her work on health care reform, foreign relation experience, tax reform and government oversight on public health.
'Hillary Clinton, as part of her husband's administration, envisioned health care reform in the 1990s, long before President Obama was able to sign it into law,' they wrote.
'Bill Clinton presided over the most prosperous time in Bunny Ranch history,' the added, 'which coincided with a tax increase on the wealthiest Americans such as brothel owner Dennis Hof.'
'The Bunnies recognize that thriving economies are built from the bottom up, where the vast majority of their clients originate.
'Hookers for Hillary' didn't say whether 'bottom up' was meant to signify anything other than an economic catch-phrase.
