3:12Now Playing"When Indiana GOP Senate candidate Richard Mourdock declared he opposes aborting pregnancies conceived in rape because "it is something that God intended to happen," he came under a lot of fire.
While he's apologized if he offended people for the controversial comment, he has stuck to his guns.
"You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube, you can't unring the bell," Mourdock said.
Now, Hustler publisher Larry Flynt is offering $1 million to Mourdock if the Tea Party favorite can prove his statement that "even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."
Flynt made the offer via a full page advertisement published in the Indianapolis Star newspaper and the controversial pornographer said he would "accept for purposes of this reward any verifiable transcript of your personal conversations with God; letters, email, text messages or videos from God, or messages addressed to you from God transmitted by any third party, including the Republican National Committee or the Romney/Ryan campaign."* Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break down Flynt's offer to Mourdock and why the letter is a brilliant response to a ridiculous campaign move.
