Attorney Michael Avenatti took a swipe at Fox News host — and Daily Caller founder — Tucker Carlson early Friday morning, ridiculing his “mop hair” and calling him childish, while simultaneously accusing Carlson of being a Trump “surrogate” and resorting “to name-calling.”

You know you are crushing them when surrogates like @tuckercarlson resort to name calling and claim your “eyes are too close together.” What are you, 6 yrs old? And you expect to be taken seriously as a journalist? When you have that mop hair? #So1980s #pathetic #basta — Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) May 11, 2018

Avenatti was responding to a segment from the Thursday broadcast of Tucker Carlson Tonight, in which the Fox News host mocked MSNBC for fawning over Avenatti. Carlson referred to him as a “creepy porn lawyer,” adding that his “eyes are too close together.”

Despite the fact that Avenatti effectively stepped all over his own argument, calling Carlson names while accusing Carlson of doing the same, it’s possible that he had a point.

After all, these guys were taken very seriously:
