Michael Avenatti promised to “hit harder” during a Democratic event in Iowa on Friday night, taking a swipe at Michelle Obama’s line of “When they go low, we go high.”

“What I fear for this Democratic Party that I love is that we have a tendency to bring nail clippers to gunfights,” Avenatti, the lawyer for porn star Stormy Daniels, said at the dinner for presidential hopefuls.

“Tonight I want to suggest a different course. I believe that the Democratic Party must be a party that fights fire with fire — When they go low, I say, we hit harder.”

During the 2016 Democratic Convention First Lady Michelle Obama introduced a different approach when she declared, “When they go low, we go high.”

Avenatti, who represented Daniels in her lawsuit against President Trump, said he visited the Iowa State Fair where he became acquainted with a ‘Butter Cow’ and ate two pork chops on a stick.

“I’ve learned that the people of Iowa are fairly receptive to me and receptive to my message,” said Avenatti, who has not formally announced a presidential run.
