Publisher Larry Flynt, president of Larry Flynt Publications, in West Hollywood, California March 22, 2012. Flynt is offering a reward for the impeachment of Donald Trump.
Larry Flynt, the
founder and publisher of Hustler magazine
offers a $10 million reward for information leading to the
impeachment of President Donald Trump.
Fox Anchor Liz Claman,
who broke the story, tweeted an image of an advert for the money. Flynt himself
subsequently retweeted the story. Hustler had not
replied to a request for comment at the time of publication.
The advert
says: “Buried in Trump’s top-secret tax returns or in other records from
his far-flung investments there may be a smoking gun.”
“The attempt to
impeach Donald Trump will strike many as a sour grapes plot by Democrats to
overturn a legitimate election,” it continues.
“But there is a strong
case to be made that the last election was illegitimate in many ways—and that
after nine tumultuous months in office, Trump has proven he’s dangerously unfit
to exercise the extreme power accrued by our new ‘unitary executive.’”
The full page
advertisement says that Trump “only” won the election thanks to the “quirks” of
the electoral college, which it calls “a real anachronism today.” It accused
Republicans of a “scorched-earth spree of gerrymandering” after the 2010
census.
The advert says that
Trump’s missteps include “inciting violent civil strife with his racial dog
whistling,” “gross nepotism,” and “sabotaging” the Paris accord on climate
change.
“Most worrisome is
that, long before a climate change apocalypse strikes, Trump might trigger a
nuclear world war,” it adds.
“Impeachment would be
a messy, contentious affair,” the ad concedes, “but the alternative—three more
years of destabilizing dysfunction—is worse.”
Flynt also offered a
similar reward in 1998, during the impeachment trial of former President Bill
Clinton. He has also shared clips from Hustler criticizing
Trump, calling him a "buffoon" and a "narcissist," and a
piece calling on the Democrats to be "more than the party of no."
