Ok, this was dirty and sneaky. I don't agree with it, but when I first saw this clip I had to laugh my behind off. "I agreed I wasn't going to call him the derogatory name I have called him" and then underneath the image of this guy time and time again is the caption.
It's not cool to do this, but the lawyer is a sleazy guy there is no question, and I had to laugh. He has a right to be upset and he had a right to call out Tucker to his face. Well...call me a bad guy for laughing, but I did. Maybe you will too
Michael Avenatti furious over ‘CREEPY PORN LAWYER’ chyron on Fox News
In an intense TV interview Thursday night, Fox News host and commentator Tucker Carlson promised Stormy Daniels’s attorney Michael Avenatti that he would not use his inflammatory nickname for the lawyer on his show — then immediately went to a chyron that read: “CREEPY PORN LAWYER TOYING WITH 2020 RUN.”
Carlson introduced Avenatti on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” explaining that in the past, Avenatti has “demanded that we stop referring to him by a certain, unflattering nickname.”
“We haven’t agreed to that demand, but tonight, as a gesture of goodwill, we will not use that nickname,” Carlson vowed. “Because we’re always grateful when guests are brave enough to show up in person, including in this case.”
He then turned to the lawyer.
“We could sit here and hurl insults at each other for the segment. Already done that,” Carlson told Avenatti. “I’ve certainly insulted you. You’ve insulted me. But you seem smart, so let me take you seriously as somebody who wants to be involved in the public conversation.
At the time, the caption on the screen: “STORMY DANIELS’ LAWYER IS HERE TONIGHT.”
But once Carlson began questioning Avenatti about his presidential aspirations, it changed to include the nickname.
First, it read: “CREEPY PORN LAWYER TOYING WITH 2020 RUN.”
Then: “DOES AMERICA WANT CREEPY PORN LAWYER AS PRES?”
Then: “STORMY’S LAWYER AS CREEPY PORN PRESIDENT?”
Then: “TUCKER TAKES ON CREEPY PORN LAWYER.”
Then just: “CPL FINALLY AGREES TO INTERVIEW WITH TUCKER.”
