It's off: Porn star running for president throws in the towel
by Steven Nelson
January 31, 2019 12:03 AM Porn star Cherie DeVille has ended her 2020 presidential campaign, citing a lack of support 17 months after declaring a long-shot bid to “Make America F*cking Awesome Again.â€
DeVille, whose real name is Carolyn Paparozzi, initially received significant news coverage and said she dreamed of running in the Democratic primary. She later spoke with Reform and Libertarian party leaders, finding a third-party candidacy an easier route onto ballots.
“When I began the campaign and was building up speed, I really had hopes that this would actually happen for me,†DeVille told the Washington Examiner after ending her campaign this week. “Maybe as the cultural climate changes I can try again.â€
A lack of financial support and threats from outraged strangers made her reconsider, DeVille said. National fame for fellow porn star Stormy Daniels didn't help, either, despite Daniels’ alleged affair with President Trump emerging months into her campaign. It just made DeVille look unoriginal, she said.
"I wonder if that hurt the legitimacy of my campaign, as if, 'Oh, there's another porn girl trying to get in the political sphere,'" she said.
When Daniels announced a “Make America Horny Again†strip tour, DeVille decided her own plan to give lap dances to raise campaign funds was no longer feasible.
“Stormy was doing exactly that,†she lamented.
