Avenatti: Democrats can’t fight Trump ‘without a slingshot’
''Attorney Michael Avenatti on Sunday night assailed President Donald Trump’s “racism and bigotry,” painting himself as the working-class fighter who can stand up to the president’s “unusual cruelty” and “make America decent again.”
An aggressive trial attorney and 2020 hopeful, Avenatti has sold himself as the Democrat tough enough to take on Trump. He’s best known for representing porn actress Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against the president over what was characterized as a 2016 hush money payment.
But his presidential ambitions took a major hit last week when he was quoted in Time magazine as saying the Democratic presidential nominee to contest Trump “better be a white male.” ''
