Mitt Romney had better watch out for Larry Flynt. The pornographer ran an ad in Sunday’s Washington Post offering a $1 million reward for the GOP nominee’s tax returns – a key Obama campaign demand.
It also asks for details about his offshore assets or bank accounts and business dealings.
“What is he hiding?” the ad asks in bold print while telling readers a cash reward will be provided for verifiable evidence of Romney’s financial information that can be published.
Flynt, a Democrat, has been no stranger to throwing his money around in efforts to intimidate Republicans. But this marks a first for him. He usually looks to dig up dirt on politicians’ sexual infidelities.
He ran a similar ad last year asking for evidence that Texas Gov. Rick Perry had been guilty of infidelity. His prior efforts have included outing Sen. David Vitter’s (R-La.) sexual infidelities and an investigation into the sex lives of Republican politicians during the Clinton impeachment saga.
His report led Speaker-designate Bob Livingston to resign from Congress and give up his shot at succeeding Newt Gingrich in the speaker’s chair in 1998.
