Wisconsin women turn out for Stormy Daniels strip performance -- and lavish praise on the Trump-slayer

Writing for the Cap Times, opinion columnist Jessie Opoien attended a performance by adult film star Stormy Daniels at a local strip club and discovered an assortment of women had ponied up $15 to see one of President Donald Trump's biggest foes -- and support her.

With the porn star admitting that she is pleased to be held up as an unapologetic feminist, saying, "“It’s a lot of f*cking pressure. It’s super fun. But it is a lot of pressure,” Opoien sought out women attending the performance at the Silk Exotic Gentlemen’s Club in Middleton to see why they came and what they think of her war with the putative leader of the free world.

According to 70-year-old Linda Nelson, discussing her first visit to a strip club, Daniels -- real name Stephanie Clifford -- is a hero.

“Look what she’s doing for women in this country. She’s suing our president. What could be stronger than that?” Nelson explained, adding that she will remember the evening for the rest of her life.

Another attendee, Mia Morissette, 55, of Middleton, called Daniels a “sex-positive, strong woman” who’s “really speaking the truth.”

Thirty-year-old Jennifer Gramer of Madison, who was attending with her feminist book club, was thrilled to meet the adult star.

“I want to tell my kids and grandkids I saw Stormy Daniels,”  Gramer stated. “If she’s the person who brings down the president — for $15 (a ticket), why not?”

Women weren't the only ones attending with politics in mind.

Don Esser of Waunakee said he showed up and paid the cover charge with an ulterior motive.
