Donald Trump is a blatant misogynist. He always has been.
So it’s no surprise his weasel lawyer is bashing women as part of his legal defense.

On Wednesday during a panel in Tel Aviv, Israel, Rudy Giuliani claimed Melania Trump actually believes her husband never cheated on her — and used Stormy Daniels‘ looks and career as evidence! He said:
“She believes in her husband, she knows it’s not true. I don’t think there’s a slight suspicion that it’s true, when you look at Stormy Daniels. [ick face]”
Yeah. He made an “ick” face. For real. He continued:
“I know Donald Trump. Look at his three wives, right? Beautiful women, classy women, women of great substance. Stormy Daniels? [derisive snort]”
We swear you can hear laughter in the background right after he calls Trump’s wives classy. Watch:

He went on to say:
“I respect all human beings. I even have to respect, you know, criminals. But, I’m sorry, I don’t respect a porn star the way I respect a career woman or a woman of substance or a woman who has great respect for herself as a woman and as a person and isn’t going to sell her body for sexual exploitation.”
And then outright that porn stars have no credibility:
“Because the business you’re in entitles you to no degree of giving your credibility any weight. And secondly, explain to me how she could be damaged. I mean, she has no reputation. If you’re going to sell your body for money, you just don’t have a reputation. I may be old fashioned, I dunno.”
Well, it didn’t take Stormy’s hot lawyer Michael Avenatti to respond (we’re pretty sure he was already in the makeup chair of a news show).
He called Giuliani an “absolute pig” and demanded an apology. Something tells us that isn’t going to happen…
“These comments are piggish, and they are disgusting, and he should be embarrassed for himself … it’s disgusting, and this guy’s an absolute pig.” Michael Avenatti, attorney representing Stormy Daniels, on Rudy Giuliani https://t.co/WVBeG0tN5V https://t.co/FsnQFWq95S

“All women, regardless of their profession, deserve respect, and their credibility has nothing to do with whether they’re a model, whether they’re in the pornography industry, or anything of that nature.”
Preach!
Far from apologizing, Giuliani doubled down on his comments Thursday morning, saying:
“If you’re involved in a sort of slimy business, [that] says something about you. Says something about how far you’ll go to make money.”
This coming from the lawyer of a man who STOLE MONEY FROM A CHILDREN’S CHARITY!
“Our real point about her is that she’s not just generally un-credible, she’s un-credible from the point of view of wanting to get money. She’s a con artist.”
And that we’re pretty sure opens him up to a defamation lawsuit. Oof.
Something else interesting about Giuliani’s glowing defense of Trump:
“Trump is a real gentleman who respects his wife and loves his daughter and has a warm relationship with his ex-wives ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ that’s not something I can say about everybody. I haven’t heard a bad word about him from his ex-wives.”
“Loves his daughter.”
His daughter.
Singular.
Huh.
Speaking of daughters, Avenatti has a response to that as well:
“Giuliani wants to talk about daughters? Well, let me tell you something. I have two young amazing daughters, and regardless of what profession they may pick, and regardless of what they look like, ultimately if anyone were to ever make these remarks about them as women, I’d absolutely knock ’em out.”
Furthermore, Avenatti throws down another gauntlet:
“If Rudy Giuliani is not fired immediately by this president, it is an outrage, and it should send a message to every woman in America about what this president thinks is acceptable.”
He quickly added:
“If the Access Hollywood tape was not enough, this should be enough.”
