Flynt reportedly donated $1,000 to Clinton’s Senate campaign last month, according to third quarter filings by the campaign, but recently found the check had been returned in the mail.
“It's unbelievable,” Flynt said. “But I'm used to this kind of hypocrisy.”
Flynt made major headlines during President Clinton’s impeachment in 1998 when he put up $1 million for anyone who could pin sexual misconduct on well-known Republicans, a party Flynt saw as far too quick to wag their fingers at President Clinton’s alleged indiscretions with Monica Lewinsky.
Flynt’s cash offer ended up spotlighting the sexual misconduct of Rep. Robert Livingston, a Republican from Louisiana who was to succeed Newt Gingrich as speaker of the House of Representatives.
Livingston was prompted to confess that he had engaged in adulterous affairs, and he resigned the night before Clinton was to be impeached.
Flynt later reported that President Clinton thanked him directly for his efforts.
“The president sent word to me. He was thankful," he told the New York Observer in 2000.
But now Flynt isn’t so thankful himself.
“I've been a lifelong Democrat,” he said Friday. “But I guess I'm going to have to find a third party or maybe some Republicans.”
