Adult film star Stormy Daniels briefly appeared at the Illinois Capitol on Friday to protest the state's tax on strip clubs.

The adult film star called the tax "sexist and wrong," saying it ties nude entertainment to violence against women without justification.

The porn actress who alleges she had an affair with Donald Trump before he became president read a two-minute statement opposing the tax. Nicknamed the"pole tax," it's a 6-year-old surcharge on nude-dancing venues that serve alcohol and is meant to fund shelters for women who have been abused.

Supporters of the law say the tax doesn't represent the belief that all strip-club patrons abuse women, but that it is akin to casino taxes funding problem-gambling programs.

Titillating press conference

Great job ! Breaking stories like this makes me proud to be your biggest fan....and yes as the sign says BoobsAreAwesome . TheMoreYouKnow

Outstanding reporting and coverage NBC.

They could always pass on the charges 😜

You are on the wrong side of this. Exotic dancers need to pay taxes on their earnings. They are not going to be young and beautiful forever. Eventually , they will be sixty five wondering why their retirement check is so low.

I like how when taxes negatively affect someone on the Left directly, or at least something near and dear to them, they suddenly get all 1776 and libertarian.

IL politicians will work with you on discounted lap dances.

Wow .... You are a really newsworthy 🤡🤡!!

So brave.

Does anyone remember when they used to respect NBC?

She got her coverage by the MSM as expected.

Ok , sorry don't know i should take that ... if you don't go there why do you care about the tax ? we are confused

Full blown activist now. Who needs college?

👏😀

She’s yuge! Any guesses as to how many months along she is?

Watch: Stephen Colbert mocks Trump's $100k check to DHS—“Worst porn star name ever”“The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert used President Donald Trump’s hush payment to Stormy Daniels to mock his donation to the Department of Homeland Security. If we take Trump at his good-for-nothing word that he's actually worth a billion dollars (pending release of those tax returns), the donation he wants to be fawned over is equivalent to ONE ONE-HUNDREDTH OF ONE PERCENT of his worth. Equivalent to a $50k/year earner donating $5. :hypocrisy is in ever accuser ,it is too ,you are into hypocrisy ,my own view on this, is your luck on all those close calls in life, is getting weaker and weaker,,,

Columbus Police Abolishes Vice UnitThe Columbus, Ohio police chief announced he is abolishing the Vice Unit - currently under investigation by the FBI. Most Vice operations were frozen in the fall, prompted by the fatal shooting of Donna Castleberry and arrest of porn star Stormy Daniels. I wonder what the records management policy for an abolished department is. Could this move have unethical consequences? “Authorities accused Columbus officer Andrew Mitchell with kidnapping multiple victims under the pretense of an arrest, and forcing them to have sex in exchange for their freedom. Mitchell has since filed for retirement.” - Retirement y’all! Thank you, StormyDaniels! You helped to make this happen...
