Trump Pornhub searches increased 648% in Cleveland during Republican convention
Thanks to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, this week, the city has seen a surge of visitors. And once the convention is over and attendees head to their hotel for the night -- well, there's only so much you can do in Cleveland.
The GOP just adopted a platform that declared internet porn a "public health crisis," but many of their members may not have received that memo. There has been a huge surge of porn watching in Cleveland and we don't think it's just that the locals have gotten lonelier.
According to an insights post from Pornhub, its statistics team saw a 4.2 percent increase in traffic from the the Cleveland area from July 18 through July 21. A majority of that traffic was from mobile devices, suggesting that those increased views were from visitors so desperate to get off that they'll do it staring at a 3-inch screen.
