As attorney Michael Avenatti is sentenced to time in prison, a video is resurfacing showing Media personalities praising him in the past and dubbing him the “savior of the Republic.”
Avenatti rose to fame when he represented Stormy Daniels in her lawsuits against former President Donald Trump.
A video montage posted by The Washington Free Beacon in 2019 resurfaced following Avenatti’s sentencing on Thursday.
In the video, Avenatti was dubbed “Donald Trump’s worst nightmare,” “savior of the Republic,” a “folk hero,” “a beast,” among others.
“The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert called Avenatti an “existential threat to the Trump presidency.”
Additionally, MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle said of Avenatti, “Democrats could learn something from you. You are messing with Trump a lot more than they are.”
CNN’s Brian Stelter also previously said he was taking Avenatti “seriously” as a presidential contender “because of your presence on cable news.”
