Rudy Giuliani took aim at Stormy Daniels Wednesday, saying that her career as an adult-film star and director undermines her “credibility” in her lawsuit against the president over their alleged affair.
“So Stormy, you want to bring a case, let me cross-examine you. Because the business you were in entitles you to no degree of giving your credibility any weight,” Giuliani told an audience in Tel Aviv, adding later, “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 … isn’t going to sell her body for sexual exploitation.”
Giuliani made the comments during the “Globes” Capital Market conference during which he also discussed the upcoming summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. Giuliani said Trump is “optimistic” about the meeting, which is back on for June 12 after being postponed following a war of words between the two.
“So that’s why he had the capacity of canceling the meeting with Kim Jong Un, only to find that Kim Jong Un is begging him now for, for a meeting. We changed the whole dynamic of that negotiation,” Giuliani said.
His comments about Daniels were made in response to a question about whether Trump respects women.
“Globes” editor-in-chief Naama Sikuler, one of the event’s moderators, then interjected that “on this stage, we respect women.”
Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, responded to Giuliani’s comments on Twitter, calling him a “misogynist.”
“Mr. Giuliani is a misogynist. His most recent comments regarding my client, who passed a lie detector test and who the American people believe, are disgusting and a disgrace. His client Mr. Trump didn’t seem to have any ‘moral’ issues with her and others back in 2006 and beyond,” Avenatti wrote on Twitter.
