Avenatti calls Trump a 'Manchurian candidate' in front of the White House
Source: The Hill
Michael Avenatti, the lawyer who is representing adult firm star Stormy Daniels in her case against President Trump, decried the president as a "Manchurian candidate" during a speech outside the White House on Tuesday.
“Our troops didn't die in Yorktown, didn't take Normandy beach, didn't rebuild Europe and secure the postwar peace that you are now destroying, Mr. President, for you to live as a Manchurian candidate in our White House," Avenatti said during the speech, the text of which he posted on Twitter.
The lawyer spoke in front of a rally protesting Trump's controversial remarks during a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday in Helsinki, Finland.

"A foreign power - Russia - waged an operation to sow discord among our citizenry and interfere with our electoral system," Avenatti said. "It worked to openly put Donald Trump in the White House. And yesterday, one of the most disgraceful days in our history, Trump rewarded Russia by siding with it over his own people, especially the intelligence professionals who sacrifice so much to keep us safe."

you've given my day a great start already. Nothing like coffee with Avenatti and my patriotic fellow Americans chanting "traitor" in front of our nation's capital. I am filled with hope that we can force this idiot to resign in shame or take back the House & Senate this fall to get him the heck out and have Mueller prosecute his sorry ass. #BASTA!!
Avenatti is now my fav politician (hint hint: our future AG, then POTUS after that 
).
