‘Stormy Daniels Day’ West Hollywood Honors Porn Star With Key To The City
The mayor of West Hollywood, Calif., joined city officials on Wednesday to present porn star Stormy Daniels with a key to the city and a city proclamation, according to a media advisory.
OMG… I’m living in the twilight zone where gang members are humanized and porn stars are honored. Can we all just wake up now!???
In the press release, city officials recognized Daniels for her “leadership in the #RESIST movement” and noted that the city has previously passed resolutions calling for articles of impeachment to be introduced against President Trump.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is suing Trump and his longtime personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, alleging that the two defamed her by denying an affair that she claims she had with Trump in 2006.
Cohen’s $130,000 payment to Daniels, as part of a nondisclosure agreement, in the days leading up to the 2016 presidential election has also drawn scrutiny as to whether it constituted an in-kind donation to the Trump campaign. Trump’s legal team has denied that the payment violated campaign finance law.
Purely from a theatrical point of view, the ‘Stormy Daniels Day’ in West Hollywood was good solid entertainment. If you feel strongly about politics, left or right, perhaps this was amusing, even inspiring, or perhaps it was a cheap publicity stunt.
I’ll opt for ‘it was a CHEAP publicity stunt’.
