Michael Avenatti Wants To Be Known As A Champion Of The First Amendment

Stormy Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti is a piece of work. Just ask his wife.

He recently bragged on Twitter about how SO TOTALLY PRO-PRESS he is. In fact, let it be known: Avenatti is a fierce defender of the First Amendment. Put that in the history books!

Thank you @Sulliview for a very balanced piece. When history is written there will be no doubt as to whether I contributed to and defended 1st Amend values. None. I will continue to contribute to and assist you and other professionals in what you do. It is vital to our nation.

He’s a champion of the press, except when he’s not.

Lol. Michael Avenatti is such a champion of the press, truth, and the First Amendment that he blocks reporters covering him after mildly critical tweets and then pretends he didn’t do it. pic.twitter.com/mLAlkwaAlz

Avenatti tried to blame it on an accident, because of course.

I told you it was inadvertent. We just hadn’t fixed it yet. We have a lot going on rt now that is much more important than you being blocked on Twitter. Btw, even if it had been purposeful, am I not allowed to block people now? Why not? Am I elected? Do you block people? https://t.co/Zpe8h68tPl

1. It’s not credible that it was inadvertent—you blocked me & other reporters mins after critical tweets. 2. You can block anyone you want. My criticism was about threatening reporters & blocking reporters who criticize your threats & then posturing as a champion of free press. https://t.co/iTztiHXVhz

Bam. That’s the whole point. Don’t sit there and brag about being super devoted to assisting reporters when you’re blocking the critical ones on Twitter.

Now you are just making it up. All kinds of reporters have criticized me and not been blocked. Why are continuing to whine about this Ryan? To be clear, I can block anyone I want, just like you can. It has nothing to do with the First Amend. I understand you have blocked many…

Please stop threatening reporters and I will stop complaining. Deal?

I’m not defending Ryan Lizza. I’m also not saying Avenatti can’t block people. The point is, Avenatti is desperately trying to portray himself as some sort of champion of the press, but it’s a total facade.

He’s such a snakeweasel.
