Attorney Michael Avenatti and President Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign manager Brad Parscale traded barbs Saturday over Parscale’s “working class” credentials.
Avenatti, the lawyer representing porn star Stormy Daniels in her case against Trump, mocked Parscale for posting a picture Friday with the president’s son Eric Trump aboard what Avenatti said was a private jet.
“Ladies and Gentlemen – I bring you the men fighting on the front lines for working class people across America,” Avenatti posted to Twitter Friday night. “Pls ignore the shades, gold watch, smug look, private jet, and sheer cockiness. Trust me – they really do care about you. What a joke.”

On Saturday, Parscale shot back at Avenatti, calling him a “joke,” and listing his credentials as a “working class” American.
“You sir are the joke. Watch: 46 years old inherited from my dad who would run circles around you as working class. Plane: shuttle for 12 staff at ($400 each) which was cheaper. Born in Kansas and began my biz with $500. Sir I am middle America working class,” Parscale posted to Twitter.

Shortly after, Avenatti launched another attack, saying Parscale grew up privileged.
“‘Working class’ @parscale? Your father was an attorney & CEO. You grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth. Just like Trump. That’s why you are tone deaf and taking ‘look at me in my shades’ pics on a private jet. Whatever you do, don’t quit running Trump’s campaign;we need you,” Avenatti continued.

Trump’s campaign manager dared Avenatti Saturday afternoon to debate his father, again defending himself as “working class.”
Ha, you have no idea.
I grew up, until I left, in East Topeka KS in a house built for 40k.
My father owned a small biz and didn’t practice law when I was growing up.
He became a CEO after I left. I wasn’t poor, my dad worked his butt off!
I dare you to debate my father. https://t.co/BJFxBarFLF
