Lawyer Whore Rudy Giuliani Doesn't Respect How Stormy Daniels Makes Her Money

Giuliani wants to disparage people who sell themselves? Okay. I'll play.

Yesterday, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, stood athwart his glass house and threw stones at Stormy Daniels over the way she makes a living.

As everybody knows “Stormy” is not her given name. Stephanie Clifford is an adult film actress, and “Stormy Daniels” is just her nom de bang. It’s one thing to have a little fun with the manufactured male fantasy that is “Stormy Daniels.” But it’s cheap and mean to come after how Stephanie Clifford, a single mother, goes about providing for her family.

Unfortunately, cheap and mean is where Rudy Giuliani lives. From BuzzFeed:

“I respect women — beautiful women and women with value – but a woman who sells her body for sexual exploitation I don’t respect,” said Giuliani, during a conference in Israel on Wednesday…

“Someone who sells his or her body for money has no good name,” said Giuliani.

“I even have to respect criminals. But 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 has great respect for herself as a woman and a person and isn’t going to sell her body for sexual exploitation,” added the president’s attorney.

Oh, we want to talk about people who sell themselves for money? Okay. I’ll leave it to others (like Senator Elizabeth Warren) to point out that Giuliani’s so-called respect for “beautiful women” is sexist and his placement of criminals over a woman who earns her living legally is just disgusting.

But if we want to have a real conversation about exactly which one of these two has degraded themselves to make a buck, I’m here for that. Stephanie Clifford is just an actress playing a role. That should be an easy concept for lawyers to understand. All lawyers should know a little something about participating in a stylized production where you are a mere vessel deployed to fellate someone’s opinion of themselves. And Giuliani should know that better than most. Let’s take a look at Giuliani’s “client list,” shall we?

That’s just what shows up on the first page of Giuliani’s PornHub Google. You can do this with almost any lawyer. Just like with an adult film actress, it’s not hard to find footage that puts lawyers in uncomfortable positions.

But for a person trying to ride around on a moral high horse, it’s worth pointing out that Giuliani has made his living off of drugs, terrorists, and Russians… from a man who claims to be morally superior to a porn star.

If he wants to go there, fine. Stephanie Clifford is just an actress. Giuliani has been the real whore.
