Michael Avenatti Blasts Tucker Carlson, Fox News For Using ‘Creepy Porn Lawyer’ Chyron
Michael Avenatti took aim at Tucker Carlson and Fox News following his first appearance on the network.
After months of throwing insults at each other, the attorney for Stormy Daniels finally agreed to sit down with Carlson. And as predicted, it went off the rails.
However, it wasn’t until after his appearance on Fox News that he saw that they had used Carlson’s go-to nickname for Avenatti “Creepy Porn Lawyer” in the chyron during much of the the interview.
Avenatti fired back on Twitter.
Yes. After he told me that he was not going to engage in “name calling.” This is why so many people correctly conclude that @TuckerCarlson is a liar, just like Trump. https://t.co/y7ly56tIWy

“This is why so many people correctly conclude that Tucker Carlson is a liar, just like Trump,” Avenatti reacted to the chyron.
He wasn’t done there.
The extent there was any doubt as to the lack of professionalism of @TuckerCarlson or @FoxNews before tonight, there is no longer. What happened with the chyron tonight was a disgrace. Complete garbage – trash television. A new low.

“The extent there was any doubt as to the lack of professionalism of Tucker Carlson or Fox News before tonight, there is no longer,” Avenatti tweeted. “What happened with the chyron tonight was a disgrace. Complete garbage – trash television. A new low.”
It is unclear if Avenatti will make another appearance on Fox News in the near future. Perhaps in 2020…
