Michael Avenatti was quoted in a TIME Magazine profile saying that Democrats needed a white man to run for president in 2020.

He later called the comments "complete bulls---" to The Daily Caller.
Avenatti, whose name has been floated as a possible Democratic presidential contender in 2020, has faced a number of legal setbacks in recent weeks.
