‘Defender of Women’ Michael Avenatti was arrested last night on Domestic Violence charges.
If you haven’t already, you should catch up here.
Anyway, Michael has denied the charges in a brief press conference last night. But I’ve got to say… this new little situation certainly tinges a lot of his past Tweets with a certain air of ICK.
I mean…
You are right. I should have turned my back on my client. Told her to “shut up” and stay quiet because people like you apparently believe assault victims are to blame. This line of thinking is disgusting and offensive to all survivors. And it makes lawyers not want to help them.

…Said the man who was just arrested for punching a woman in the face.
One month ago, Avenatti:
“These old white men still don’t understand that assault victims and women deserve respect and to be heard.” https://t.co/XocjD6ontk

And we should ENTIRELY BELIEVE this woman.
“You’ve got to engage in smash-mouth politics if you’re going to beat Donald Trump.” – Michael Avenatti, October 15.

“The only way you’re going to beat him is by hitting him twice as hard as he hits you.” – Avenatti, same interview

Yup. It’s not like we didn’t know what kind of guy he is.
Avenatti:
“I have consistently called on white males like me to step, take responsibility, and be a part of stoping the sexism and bigotry that other white males engage in.”
Also Avenatti: “SHE HIT ME FIRST, OFFICER!” https://t.co/zKrSpIppva
