“I owe an apology to the pig for associating Giuliani with a pig,” Avenatti said on CNN’s “The Situation Room” Thursday. “This guy is a disgrace, it’s disgusting. It has no place in American society or anywhere else for that matter and he should have already been fired.”

Avenatti’s remark calling Giuliani a pig was in response to the former New York mayor’s comments about Avenatti’s client: adult film star Stormy Daniels.
