    Let me be unmistakably clear on something. FUCK @MichaelAvenatti. Here he just said that the 2020 Democratic nominee “better be a white male.” This man is a clown. He’s Better Call Saul. And now we are learning he’s also a sexist bigot.http://time.com/5434317/michael-avenatti/ …

        Stop saying that Michael Avenatti didn’t say the 2020 candidate “better be a white male.” It’s exactly what he said. He’s dumb as rocks. This bullshit notion that only white men can defeat conservative white men has been proven wrong over and over again.pic.twitter.com/HQXcaayruF

        Where @mollyesque provides the entire transcript for her interview where @MichaelAvenatti said it “better be a white man” who runs against Trump. He now denies he said it. He’s a liar. A snake in the grass. A grifter.http://time.com/5435310/michael-avenatti-trump-white-male/ …

        This is outrageous. You did nothing to check this. You did not even bother to review a single speech I have given across this country - 50 times over the last few months - where I discuss this issue.

        Both of you have been relentlessly attacked but Trump is the white supremacist and we should focus our anger on him and the Republican party. When they go low, let’s band together and win.

        Exactly. @MichaelAvenatti’s words NEED to be taken in context. Beyond that, Avenatti has been a consistent and strong ally of the left. Let us not forget that, lest we lose on the basis of disorganization... again.

        “His words need to be put in context. Sure he said something horrifically racist, but beyond that he’s also exploited a sex-worker for clout, & jumped in at the last minute to give Republicans a talking point during the Kavanaugh fiasco. Can’t we just excuse his blatant racism?”

        In your first two lines you contradict yourself. When put in the context of his full statement there is no sensible way to conclude that what he said as racist, and in fact, in the context of his full statement, what he said could be seen as challenging racism present today.

        "I think it better be a white male,” he said of the Democratic nominee, before adding that he wished that was not the case. “When you have a white male making the arguments, they carry more weight,” he said. “Should they carry more weight? Absolutely not. But do they? Yes.”

        I agree w/his thesis as it pertains to this sexist, racist country. I also agree that it's wrong. Where I DON'T agree is that we give into that limitation. As a woman, I won't. As a supporter of many people of color, I won't. But let's at least be honest about his actual meaning.

        When one is blessed with privilege by the circumstances of their birth, they should use that to help lift marginalized voices, rather than continue in the express lane solo. This is the quote, in context. It's still ugly.pic.twitter.com/AaNpoCpYrM

        Maybe he's thinking strategically, which is the way 2 defeat 45. As much as I want to see a black woman run, white men aren't voting for that.Thats just facts. They wouldn't even vote 4 a white woman in 2016. Sadly, a progressive white male may close some of the 45 divide. 🤷🏾‍♀️

        Your tweet is an overreaction & illustrates the very thing Bill Maher lectures the Left about constantly: Going nuts over someone speaking an unpleasant truth. It’s a pisser, but Avenatti is likely right on point. We need to beat Trump, whoever it takes.
