Gay adult film performer Kenny Benjamin is giving out free subscriptions to his OnlyFans page in exchange for donations to Elizabeth Warren’s campaign.
“If you send me a screenshot of you donating to Elizabeth Warren I will give you my alt and if you already have my alt I’ll give you a month of OnlyFans,” Benjamin told his 8K followers on Twitter last week.
IF YOU SEND ME A SCREENSHOT OF YOU DONATING TO ELIZABETH WARREN I WILL GIVE YOU MY ALT AND IF YOU ALREADY HAVE MY ALT ILL GIVE YOU A MONTH OF ONLYFANS

And the money came rolling in… Sorta.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
People began sharing screenshots of their donations, ranging from $3 to $5 to $500, to Warren’s campaign.

Benjamin tells Gay Star News the whole thing started as a joke and he was surprised when people actually took his offer seriously.
“I originally posted it as kind of a joke,” he said. “It has actually been crazy. I had a lot of people messaged me to say, ‘I wanted to donate to Elizabeth Warren and this inspired me.'”
The 25-year-old says he mainly supports Warren’s candidacy because she’s a woman.
“I would just love to see a woman in the White House. In the 2016 election, the majority of the country voted for Hilary Clinton. America wants a woman president. And Warren is just so capable of being president.”
He adds that one of his goals of doing adult films is to combat the stigma that surrounds sex work, and Warren has said she is open to decriminalizing it.
Warren’s campaign hasn’t issued any comment on Benjamin’s grassroots fundraising efforts.

Hey it’s encouraging to see people use their entrepreneurial spirit to help the candidates they believe in. Not everyone has the bankroll to donate what they want directly but there are other ways to make it happen.

This is illegal. Merely offering something of value so the recipient will alter his behavior in exchange for the gift is bribery. In the context of campaign finances and elections, this is punishable by up to two years in prison for both parties. This is not funny, it is not cute, it is criminal.

Spoken like a true Republican.

Bullshit. Campaigns offer stickers, signs, and all kinds of things for donating.

I’m totally ok with this. Stealing the election by barring people from voting and misinformation I have more of a problem with.

You have no clue what you are talking about about. Bribery is the practice of offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting something of value for the purpose of influencing the action of an official in discharge of his/ her public or legal duties.

When wealthy Republican donors pay thousands of dollars to attend a candidates fundraising dinner that is paying to influence a candidates behavior. Elizabeth Warren doesn’t have anything to do with this and therefore is not influenced. This isn’t bribery at all. Now attending an event at Mara Lago or staying at a Trump hotel in hopes of influencing policy decisions is something to be concerned about. Not this.

Why do people pay for these only fan crap when you can’t touch or feel the person. Just watch porn for free. Why pay for these jobless trash to sit on their azz play around naked and move on with their life?

Many adult performers have a 2nd Twitter account they use to promote their work.
Jared MacBride
he and Warren have something in common – they’re both horse faces.
