Well-known feminist and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Thursday that feminists who “support the porn industry” should “turn in [their] credentials.”

He made the remark to CNN after the outlet asked why he would attempt to discredit adult film star Stormy Daniels based on her profession.

Daniels has alleged that she had an affair with President Donald Trump back when he was a businessman and reality television star, and she has since sued Trump and his longtime lawyer Michael Cohen over a nondisclosure agreement she signed.

“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,” Giuliani told CNN, the network reported.

“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,” he added. “She’s a con artist.”

Daniels attorney Michael Avenatti has called on Trump to fire Giuliani over comments he made about Daniels on Wednesday.

    A federal court approved a $25 million settlement on Tuesday with students who said they were duped by Donald Trump and his now-defunct Trump University, which promised to teach them the "secrets of success" in the real estate industry.
    
    The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco finalized the settlement after it was first approved by a judge last March following an appeal by Sherri Simpson, a Florida woman who said she spent roughly $19,000 on Trump University workshops. Simpson had wanted to opt out of a class action suit in order to pursue a separate suit against Trump, but the court rejected that.

  3. What exact services did Giuliani Partners provide earning him personally $20 million or so per year after 9/11. And what about his partner and buddy Bernie Kerik? What about his credentials?

  4. Dommyluc To Human Beings Who Support Rudy Giuliani: ‘Turn In Your Credentials’

  5. What about all the men who support the porn industry? You know, like the president? What are his “credentials”? Other than being an asshole like yourself?

    PS–Rudy, don’t start lecturing us about hypocrisy. Granted, you’re an expert in it.
