Nevada's "most famous pimp" and the self-proclaimed "Trump of Pahrump" has won the Republican primary for the state Legislature, defeating James Oscarson, a hospital executive who as held office for three terms, The Associated Press reports.
Dennis Hof, the star of the long-running HBO documentary series Cathouse, owns half a dozen brothels in Nevada. He held a rally with President Trump's close friend, Roger Stone, in April. "It's all because Donald Trump was the Christopher Columbus for me," explained Hof, who has written a book called The Art of the Pimp. "He found the way and I jumped on it."
