Dennis Hof, Republican candidate and Trump-connected pimp, drops dead
Here’s a story you don’t hear every day. A guy named Dennis Hof, who has the distinction of being a Republican candidate for office in Nevada, and a pimp, and an ally of Donald Trump, has dropped dead. There is no known indication of foul play, but the story is weird to say the least, and sure enough, it involves connections to Trump.
Dennis Hof, who was seventy-two years old, was found dead this morning. Last night he was partying with former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was pardoned by Donald Trump last year. Hof has been styling his political campaign after Trump, and has repeatedly stated that he was inspired to run by Trump. Although Trump never formally endorsed Hof, the Arpaio connection says it all. Also at the party was porn star Ron Jeremy, who reportedly found Hof dead this morning when he went back to meet up with him.
So yeah, on the same day that Donald Trump decided to refer to his former mistress and current porn star Stormy Daniels as “horseface,” one of Trump’s allies was found dead by porn star Ron Jeremy. Welcome to the Trump era. As far as the state legislature seat that Dennis Hof was seeking, it appears to be too late for the Republican Party to replace him on the ballot. So if he posthumously wins, Nevada will have to go through its procedures for filling what would be a vacant seat.
