The gay guy who claimed he had sex with Obama is running for mayor of a Florida town
Convicted felon Larry Sinclair is running to be the next mayor of Cocoa, Florida. Strangely enough, the gay mans ridiculous claims that he had sex with former-President Barack Obama and the national ridicule he endured hasnt been an issue in the race.
Sinclair is running against two Democrats in the nonpartisan race and neither of his opponents have purposefully ignored Sinclairs criminal past or fantastical claim of outing the former president.
I do believe that the voters are smarter than the candidates give them credit for, one of the opposing candidates, Cocoa City Council member Clarence Whipple Jr., told Florida Today. But Im not going to send stuff out on it. Im not questioning his rehabilitation.
Former City Council member Jake Williams Jr. Both, the other candidate, wouldnt speak to the paper about Sinclairs past.
Sinclair became infamous after he held a press conference at the National Press Club to claim he had smoked crack with Obama and had sex with him twice in 1999. Sinclairs outrageous claims without any proof made him a national laughing stock, but spurred even more far right conspiracy theories after being picked up by outlets like Alex Jones InfoWars.
He also claimed Obama had ordered the murder of one of his former lovers before when he decided to run for president. Neither allegation was ever proven, of course.
Sinclair has multiple convictions for fraud, larceny and forgery. He has served time in Colorado, Florida and Arizona prisons.
