A $2,800 donation made by serial masturbator/comedian Louis C.K to the Joe Biden campaign on March 4th has been rejected by the Biden campaign [via Time magazine]. No additional information was given about the Biden campaign’s decision. C.K. has also been silent about it since the story broke yesterday.
Biden’s presidential campaign cannot risk taking money from a #MeToo boogeyman, especially after allegations surfaced just last month that Biden himself may have stepped over the line with a woman, Tara Reade, who was part of the former Senator and current Presidential candidate’s staff back in the early ‘90s.
C.K. — whose career was derailed back in 2017 after it was revealed that he was a chronic public serial masturbator -- has been trying to mount a comeback by performing stand-up shows on a sellout tour of small comedy clubs. C.K. was accused of masturbating in front of fellow female comedians backstage before and after shows. Despite the backlash, fellow comedians such as Rob Schneider, Janeane Garofalo, and Sarah Silverman have vehemently defended C.K's right to perform at clubs the last few years.
