Celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti took to Twitter on Sunday to complain about a poll from Joy Reid that doesn’t show very much support for a future run for president:
Should @MichaelAvenatti run for president? #AMJoy
— AM Joy w/Joy Reid (@amjoyshow) July 8, 2018
And the results as of the writing of this post:
Avenatti scolded voters and asked if Dems will “nominate another tired, highly experienced, establishment candidate to run against Trump”:
See poll below. The better question is: Will the Dems nominate another tired, highly experienced, establishment candidate to run against Trump and expect that it will end in a different result than the first 15 such politicians he beat. #Basta https://t.co/wbzxatuNZO

And this set off a massive backlash of libs who thought he was targeting Hillary Clinton, for good reason:
The issue wasn't "tired" and "highly experienced." It was Russia and Comey. Were it not for those two factors, "tired" and "highly experienced" Hillary would be POTUS. If we don't address Russia, we cannot ever expect a different result. https://t.co/i8ZzMZXeIp

Hilary wasn't a tired candidate. She was the most qualified person ever to run for President. The election was stolen from her. RUSSIA INTERFERED IN OUR ELECTION What makes you any different? https://t.co/muA1hcjT2u

If I ever need to have surgery, I want a highly experienced surgeon. I expect the same from someone who is tasked with running my government. https://t.co/Uaqeo7O1du

Avenatti did quickly clarify that he didn’t mean Hillary Clinton, but this explanation really doesn’t make much sense. The “others that ran against Trump” were all Republicans:
And to be clear, I’m not calling Hillary tired. I am referring to many of the others that ran against Trump and the messaging that went with a number of the candidates.

And libs didn’t buy it:
Yes you did. Sit down. https://t.co/EImoGP6Tuf

Oh, really, counselor? To whom were you referring? What other "highly experienced, establishment candidate" was nominated by Democrats?
You stepped in it. Step back, wipe it off, and move on. https://t.co/PeCQDmNStC

I HAVE RED LIGHTS FLASHING.. ? ? This dude is morphing into a dangerous divisive op before our very eyes. I've been a fan of his. I am unclear as to his political party. He's starting to worry me. https://t.co/epD0nkA6U5
