Establishment Dems furious at porn lawyer
Attorney Michael Avenatti has come under fire over a now-deleted tweet encouraging people to “chip in for Beto now,” linking to what appeared to be a fundraising page for Texas Democratic Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke.
In the fine print of the now-deleted campaign, however, O’Rourke supporters discovered that half the proceeds went to Avenatti’s Fight PAC, formed a little over seven weeks ago.
Users were able to manually allocate funds entirely to O’Rourke, however the default sent half of all money collected to Avenatti’s Political Action Committee.
“‘It is pretty skeezy,’ said Brendan Fischer, the director of federal and FEC reform programs at the Campaign Legal Center, of the fundraising tactic. ‘If Avenatti wanted to raise funds for Beto O’Rourke’s campaign, he could just share a link to the Beto for Senate donation page. But he didn’t. Avenatti’s tweet gave viewers the impression their donation would support Beto for Senate, and given how easy it is to make a one-click donation through ActBlue, some viewers could miss the fine print disclosing that their donation would be split with Avenatti’s PAC.” – Daily Beast
Avenatti called the criticism “complete nonsense,” noting that Senators Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris “do the same thing.” Perhaps sensing he’d made a huge mistake, Avenatti deleted the page – telling the Daily Beast in a text message: “It wasn’t worth the nonsense that resulted from people that don’t understand how common this is.”

This guy is such slime.
The Warren family going from "deer skinners" to "wampum skimmers" in such a short time.
Right? I thought princess grey beaver only traded in beads, fur pelts and other similar wampum.
Recently, he's the hottest thing going on RATS underground.
Creepy Porn Lawyer strikes again.
In hiding.
It will follow him as much as "Fauxahontas" follows Warren.
Sucks to be them...not that I give a rat's patootie if either of them live or die.
p
Would one expect less from “a creepy porn lawyer”?
Why isn’t the CPL in jail.....for SOMETHING?
So, Beta is the hottest thing on DU?
I will stop by on election night to hear the gnashing of teeth, the garments rent in anger, etc., ad nauseum. Should be fun.
Even at his worst Avenatti can't get creepier than the Clinton's...
An honest Democrat porn lawyer? What has anyone been smoking?
It’s the same as saying that Hillary doesn’t know the different between bleach and bleachbit.
Yep - for a Left-Wing nut-job, Avenatti sure has been hurting them....
