Tucker Carlson and Michael Avenatti, Stormy Daniels’ lawyer and a potential 2020 presidential candidate, exchanged blows in a heated back and forth interview on the former’s show Thursday night.

WATCH:

Carlson accused Avenatti of profiting off the case, living large on the cable news circuit while his client continues to perform in “seedy strip clubs.”

“I’ve done a remarkable job for my client and she will be the first one to tell you that. And had you listened to her interviews or seen any of her comments, you would know exactly what she thinks of me. I am not just done. I am not exploiting my client. I am representing my client to the absolute — I am still talking,” Avenatti stated in defense of himself.

“So when she wants to get your legal advice does she have to pretend to be a booker from CNN to get through to you?” Carlson asked.

“Why don’t you show respect to my client and me, and stop calling us a porn star and a creepy porn lawyer. If you’ve got that big of a problem with porn – do you have that big of a problem with porn? When was the last time you saw porn?” Avenatti responded.

Carlson shot back, “Oh, you busted me. Actually, I’m into humiliation porn. That’s why I watch you on CNN.”

The two of them have exchanged insults for months. Carlson regularly refers to Avenatti as a “creepy porn lawyer” and the chyron during the interview labeled him as such.
