Thanks to a Daily Beast article:

Carlson repeatedly tried to get Avenatti to talk about his political stances and ambitions instead of the Stormy Daniels case, which the lawyer said he had been invited to discuss. Every time Avenatti tried to speak, Carlson shouted over him while at the same time saying he had no interest in squabbling or name-calling.
Why is it that you dont call Donald Trump the creepy porn president? Avenatti asked Carlson at one point. Hes the one that had sex, with a four-month-old son at home, with my client, without a condom. But you dont want to acknowledge that!
Carlson did acknowledge the extra-marital affair, but defended it as consensual and would not admit that Trump had lied to the American people about it. As Carlson accused Avenatti of exploiting Daniels, Avenatti shot back that he was hypocrite for shaming his association with a porn star while giving Trump a pass for the same thing.
It wasnt until the final moments of the gross display that the words on the screen migrated into Carlsons mouth. Creepy porn lawyer, great to see you, the host said, getting the last word and cutting to commercial.
After the segment, Avenatti seemed to express his regret for the interview, tweeting, This is why so many people correctly conclude that @TuckerCarlson is a liar, just like Trump.

(14,565 posts)I've seen them post that video on numerous sites, championing Tucker and using terms like, "Chewed up and spit out."
It's like that party and its surrogates actually believed that 46% of the vote was a national mandate, and nothing could possibly go wrong. Just abuse that foghorn.
If somebody had told me, "Creepy porn lawyer..." would be the description on the banner I would have sworn they were kidding.

(22,976 posts)Fairly successfully (for Fox Entertainment) blunting Avenatti's point-making. And the shameless chyron "Creepy Porn Lawyer" is so fucking foul.
Carlson is a fucking idiot.

(25,572 posts)Years ago I used to hate Robert Novak with great passion, but that has been left behind by the utter revulsion for this marginally acceptable excuse for a human being that is Tucker. I have vision of his face meeting a brick wall whenever I hear that condescending voice of his and wonder how many times he was beaten up in school. I just regret that I wasn't there to see it happen and cheer on the bully/predator/right-thinking individual who had put up with enough of his shit to last a lifetime.
