Star of the Democarate Party Avenatti warmly greets his protesters in Ohio
https://hillreporter.com/star-of-the-democarate-party-avenatti-warmly-greets-his-protesters-in-ohio-5316
Published on August 7, 2018
Last night, attorney and frequent Trump critic Michael Avenatti was in Youngstown, Ohio, as the keynote speaker for the Mahoning County Democratic Party Chairmans Dinner. Avenatti, who has become somewhat of a star within the Democratic party, spoke on various topics, ranging from General Motors to steel mills and everything in between.
Where are the steel mills and the jobs promised to local people? Avenatti asked. And what about that wall Donald Trump promised the Mexicans would pay for? The check must be in the mail...........................
The protesters apparently took issue with the fact that Avenatti is representing a porn star, as they displayed several signs encouraging residents of Youngstown to vote Republican. One of their signs called Avenatti the Star of the Democarate party (Its assumed that they meant to write Democratic party). Regardless, Avenatti went over to them and tried to strike up a friendly conversation.
Theres something about a leader who is happy to walk up to the opposition and engage, said Pam Keith, a Democratic candidate for Floridas 18th Congressional District. I cant quite put my finger on it.
Avenatti even joked about the protesters, apparently taking a shot at President Trumps obsession with crowd sizes, saying via tweet, YUGE protest tonight before my speech in Ohio! Biggest protest in history of Ohio! Spelling perfect and protest well organized. Very intimidating..........................................

Not sure if he will find traction, but he is entertaining

That nutbag claims that the Democrats are "for porn" because one of them is representing an adult film star. Yet he ignores the fact that this guy is representing her because that guy he is defending paid off said actress after having an affair with her. What is that? A double standard? Hypocrisy? Cognitive dissonance? Brain-washing? All of the above?

Do they know what their guy did with her?
