Rudy Giulianiis being blasted as a “misogynist” and an “absolute pig” for his attempt to discredit adult film actressStormy Daniels.
Giuliani, an attorney for PresidentDonald Trump, said at an event in Tel Aviv on Wednesday that he doesn’t “respect” Daniels — who claims she had an affair with Trump in 2006 — because she is a porn star who “sells her body for sexual exploitation.”
“I respect all human beings. I even have to respect criminals. But I’m sorry, I don’t respect a porn star the way I respect a career women or a women of substance or a woman who has great respect for herself as a women and as a person and isn’t going to sell her body for sexual exploitation,” Giuliani said.

When Bash pressed Giuliani and suggested his point of view was “antiquated,” he replied: “I kind of like my view of it better.”
Giuliani also said Wednesday that Trump’s wife,Melania, didn’t believe that he had an affair with Daniels.
“She believes her husband, and she knows it’s untrue,” Giuliani said.
And weighing in on Daniels’ lawsuit, Giuliani said, “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.”
“He’s basically stating that women that engage in the adult film industry and other forms of pornography don’t have reputations and are not entitled to respect,” Avenatti said on CNN’sAnderson Cooper 360.
Avenatti also took to Twitter to call Giuliani a “misogynist” and point out that “his client Mr. Trump didn’t seem to have any ‘moral’ issues with her and others back in 2006 and beyond.”
The co-hosts ofThe Viewalso defended Daniels on Thursday, with Meghan McCain saying the adult film star was very “credible and well-spoken” during anApril appearance on the show.
McCain also brought up Giuliani’s multiple divorces and marital issues and said he was in no position to judge Daniels.
Joy Behar also noted Trump’s long history withPlayboymagazine, saying, “Apparently, I didn’t know this, but in 1994, 2000 and 2002, Trump made cameo appearances in several soft corePlayboyskin flicks. Trump himself did! … And he appeared on aPlayboymagazine cover in 1990. So, Rudy, you better get your act together.”
