Ann Coulter Says Stormy Daniels Is ‘The Rosa Parks of Porn Stars’
Ann Coulter has poked fun at Stormy Daniels by comparing her to the civil rights icon Rosa Parks.
The conservative pundit took aim at Daniels in a post on her website, following the latter’s testimony during Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York City.
The former president is accused of misappropriating financial documents to conceal a hush money payment made to the adult film actress in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election, to buy her silence over their alleged sexual encounter. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the 34 felony charges in the case and denies ever having sex with Daniels. He has claimed the money was paid to her to protect his marriage and reputation, rather than help his White House bid.

In a blog post titled “Stormy Daniels: The Rosa Parks of Porn Stars,” Coulter wrote: “Most grippingly, Daniels testified that she became unglued upon seeing Trump in his underwear, an unlikely story from a woman who’d had sex on camera with fully naked men in literally hundreds of porn films. She said she blacked out during the sex and, afterward, her hands were ‘shaking so hard’ she could barely put on her shoes.”
The pundit took aim at the criticism of the cross-examination of Daniels which many labeled as “slut-shaming” and a ploy to discredit her testimony because of her career as a porn actress and stripper.
“Yes, questioning a porn star’s alleged trauma at the sight of a man in his underwear is JUST LIKE asking a rape victim about her dating history or the length of her skirt,” Coulter wrote. Newsweek contacted Daniels by email for comment.
Coulter quoted a New York Times opinion piece that described Daniels as a “woman who proudly makes pornography for a living and doesn’t believe it hurts her credibility one bit.”
Coulter shared her apparent sarcastic response, writing: “She’s truly a role model for little girls.”
Trump’s trial continues in New York with lawyer Michael Cohen once again taking the stand to testify on Thursday.
Prosecutors are alleging that Trump funneled money to Cohen to pay Daniels in secret ahead of the 2016 election.
The lawyer has so far testified that Trump approved a plan to reimburse him for a $130,000 payment he made to Daniels through a series of bogus invoices.
However, the defense has tried to undermine Cohen’s testimony by pointing out his jail time in federal prison for various crimes. He was jailed in 2018 for illegal campaign contributions, tax fraud, and other charges.
