Michael Avenatti, the attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels, got dragged by fellow liberals after he took an apparent swipe at Hillary Clinton in a jab they considered “sexist.”
The brouhaha erupted after Avenatti expressed annoyance with a Twitter poll indicating that 46% of Twitter users don’t think he should run for president in 2020.
Avenatti, who clearly thinks he would make a stellar candidate, tweeted: “Will Dems nominate another tired, highly experienced, establishment candidate against Trump and expect that it will end in a different result?” The “tired” jab appears to be a reference to two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
See poll below. The better question is: Will the Dems nominate another tired, highly experienced, establishment candidate to run against Trump and expect that it will end in a different result than the first 15 such politicians he beat. #Basta https://t.co/wbzxatuNZO

Avenatti told Joy Reid over the weekend that he’s considering running for president in 2020 because he thinks he’s one of a few select people who can beat President Trump.
Reid reacted by posting a Twitter poll asking, “Should Michael Avenatti run for president?” The poll yielded these unfavorable results.
After Avenatti appeared to slam Hillary as “tired,” liberals attacked him as sexist while conservatives grabbed their popcorn to laugh at the circular firing squad.

Hilary wasn't a tired candidate. She was the most qualified person ever to run for President. The election was stolen from her. RUSSIA INTERFERED IN OUR ELECTION What makes you any different? https://t.co/muA1hcjT2u

Democratic strategist Peter Daou, a former Hillary adviser, growled: “The way to gain a foothold as a serious political contender is not to disparage the voting choices of millions of Democrats, including an overwhelming majority of women of color, the party’s backbone.”

Another liberal declared: “Hilary wasn’t a tired candidate. She was the most qualified person ever to run for President.”
The Twitter user then regurgitated the Russia! Russia! Russia! narrative the liberal media have spoon-fed her.

Another woman said: “Stop this nonsense now. We like you, but you need to stick with Stormy and the kids. F**k with us Democratic women and we will come out and devastate you in the primaries.”
Ah Dude, stop this nonsense now.
We like you but you need to stick with Stormy and the kids.
Fuck with us democratic women and we will come out and devastate you in the primaries. I say this with love. https://t.co/Nc9rcADneA— Andrea R MD (@AndreaR9Md) July 9, 2018
In response to the volcanic backlash, Avenatti walked back his comments and claimed he wasn’t referring to Hillary. “To be clear, I’m not calling Hillary tired.” Um, okay.
And to be clear, I’m not calling Hillary tired. I am referring to many of the others that ran against Trump and the messaging that went with a number of the candidates.

Meanwhile, there are rumors that Hillary may secretly be plotting to run again in 2020. This is how millions of Americans feel about that move. Bring it on, sister.
