Celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti, who hates to be called a celebrity attorney, appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Thursday night, and it was clear that Carlson is not a fan. In fact, in the chyron at the bottom of the screen, Avenatti was referred to as either “Creepy Porn Lawyer” or just CPL for short.

Avenatti made it clear that one of the conditions of his appearance was that Carlson not refer to him as a creepy porn lawyer, which Carlson did not do … verbally. For the most part.
Tucker laughingly said goodnight to Avenatti using the nickname! #Perfect #CreepyPornLawyer

Avenatti is now asking Tucker when the last time he watched porn was.
Tucker: “Actually, I’m into humiliation porn. That’s why I watch you on CNN.”

“CPL finally agrees to interview with Tucker” is pretty good, but we also like “Stormy’s lawyer as creepy porn president?”
Avenatti was not pleased to find out what had gone on on screen:
Disgraceful. Garbage host. Garbage network.

And yes, he’s running.
This guy is going to be competitive in 2020 primaries. Watch. https://t.co/PP2LMiD52f

Update:
Uh oh … Oliver Darcy, who reports for CNN but seems to do nothing but watch FOX, seems displeased too, even though his network is guilty of the same thing.
