CLEAR LAKE, Iowa — Michael Avenatti, fresh off his declaration that he may run for president in 2020, used his first big speech as a prospective candidate to call on the Democratic Party to reject Michelle Obama’s oft-quoted advice about President Trump and his allies: “When they go low, we go high.”
Mr. Avenatti, the hard-charging lawyer who represents the pornographic film star Stephanie Clifford, known as Stormy Daniels, did not once mention the former first lady in his keynote speech Friday night at the Democratic Wing Ding, a party fund-raiser in northern Iowa. But there was no mistaking his meaning.
“We must be a party that fights fire with fire,” Mr. Avenatti said to cheers from the audience, his voice rising. “When they go low, I say hit back harder.”
He received a thunderous ovation at the end of his speech, notably louder than the applause for the night’s other speakers, including Representative Tim Ryan of Ohio as well as Representative John Delaney of Maryland, who is running for president.
At times, his language verged on apocalyptic. The Democratic Party, he said, is “fighting for no less than the survival of our republic,” and doing so against “a man that wants to turn back the hands of time, to send us back to the Dark Ages.”
In such a fight, he continued, “we must honestly ask ourselves whether those that we fight for can afford our gentleness.”
It is a message in keeping with the work that has made Mr. Avenatti a boldface name: his alliance with Ms. Clifford, who claims to have had an affair with Mr. Trump and is suing the president’s onetime fixer, Michael D. Cohen.
As Ms. Clifford’s lawyer, Mr. Avenatti has adopted the president’s brash manner and some of his tactics....

That’ll work
Avenatti and Waters sound a lot alike.
Yet Waters edges him out in the brain department, it seems. LOL
Boy this sob is nuts and needs to be castrated now so that he does not reproduce.
This clown once threatened that he had a video that incriminates Trump. Based on this rhetoric everyone knows he has nothing. If he and that pig Stormy, or ANY other woman, had video evidence of something, we would have seen it long ago.
OK jerkwad. Your 15 minutes of fame are over.
LOL - nope - he's that big a BS er...
Yeah, BS....LOL.
