Stormy Daniels's attorney and possible 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Avenatti is urging the press to "stop calling me a celebrity."

Avenatti argued Tuesday on Twitter that he should not be compared to "a certain reality star who knew nothing about the law or government" — a clear reference to President Trump Donald John TrumpSteele Dossier sub-source was subject of FBI counterintelligence probe Pelosi slams Trump executive order on pre-existing conditions: It 'isn't worth the paper it's signed on' Trump 'no longer angry' at Romney because of Supreme Court stance MORE.

"To the press - [please] stop calling me a 'celebrity.' I am not one. I am a 18 yr lawyer that has successfully fought on behalf of Davids vs. Goliaths in complicated cases across the nation, including many involving constitutional law. I first started working on FISA issues in 1996," wrote Avenatti to his 713,000 followers in the first of two tweets.

"Falsely labeling me a 'celebrity' allows one to ignore my background and legal experience dealing with many complicated issues at the forefront of our society. It also allows for ridiculous comparisons to a certain reality star, who knew nothing about the law or government," he added.

The demand from the frequent cable news guest comes on the same day the 47-year-old lawyer is prominently featured in Vogue in a story titled "Stormy Daniels Isn't Backing Down." The story includes photos by famed celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz.

Avenatti, who representing the adult-film star in her lawsuit against President Trump, launched his own political action committee (PAC) as he considers a possible presidential run in 2020.

“Looking forward to helping Dems take back the House and beyond in 2018. Too much is at stake. Go to http://www.thefightpac.org,” he tweeted last Friday.
