Earlier this week Andrew Kaczynski, who once falsely claimed I accused Hillary Clinton of faking an injury, jumped ship from BuzzFeed over to CNN. This was a surprise move, a little over a month before the election, and it set a lot of tongues wagging. (Well, at least among people who care about what happens at BuzzFeed and CNN.) And now, just days later, Jeff Zucker is already getting his money’s worth!
Hang onto your hat, Dear Reader, because it might just fly clean off your head when you get this staggering news:
Donald Trump’s tame appearance in a 2000 Playboy video came to light late last week after he attacked a former beauty queen for her alleged “sex tape” past.
CNN’s KFILE has now uncovered two more Playboy videos in which Trump makes an appearance, including one in which he is depicted photographing fully clothed models with a Polaroid camera and conducting an interview with a potential Playmate.
In that video — a 1994 VHS tape obtained by CNN titled “Playboy Centerfold” — Trump takes part in Playboy magazine’s search for its 40th anniversary Playmate.
“Obtained by CNN!” Folks, that is some high-value investigative reporting right there. Just imagine all the digging it took: Googling “Donald Trump,” going to Amazon.com to “obtain” these VHS tapes, and then finding a working VCR. In 2016! Does anybody even make those things anymore? Maybe Kaczynski got some help from the guys at Lightning Fast VCR Repair.
Wow, Donald Trump is on tape talking to Playboy models. This changes everything. It might just be the biggest discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls. Fearless reporter Andrew Kaczynski has really upended this election. If Trump’s racism, misogyny, irrational outbursts, proud ignorance of most matters foreign and domestic, and general unsuitability for the office of president haven’t changed your mind, the knowledge that he was in the clean parts of a few Playboy tapes back in the ’90s must be making you reconsider your vote.
Keep making a difference, Andrew Kaczynski!
