In a rather funny twitter feud that just flared up, disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti tried to bait Greg Gutfeld so that he could desperately grab more airtime on cable news.
It began when Gutfeld endorses this very funny article documenting the downfall of Avenatti:
Here’s an excerpt:
Avenatti was hailed as a hybrid attack dog and sex god. All Democrats bowed to the Trumpslayer. Picture a two-fisted, high-T version of 2008 Barack Obama, and you’ll have some idea of how professional Democrats viewed him as they rushed to polish his boots with their tongues. “Hottie Avenatti” became a meme. If geothermal hatred of President Trump was warming the Democratic party’s heart, Avenatti was the cause of significant engorgement in its undies. “I wouldn’t not f*** him,” one activist said. “Unprompted, several Democrats admiringly discussed Avenatti’s physique to VICE News,” ran one reporter’s account, noting that “I have a thing for bald guys” was a typical remark. (Great news, Joe Biden, you can take out your plugs!)
I think that’s a little misleading, since most Democrats didn’t accept Avenatti at all, but it’s humorous at least.
This is even better:
This was less than four months ago: Peak Avenatti. Since then his stock has followed somewhat of a Pets.com trajectory. In August, Avenatti stepped into a Twitter slap-fight between Jim Acosta and Sean Hannity and tried to invite himself to appear on the latter’s show (“Let’s go big boy”), earning only blunt dismissal for his efforts. Hannity informed the lawyer that only the president and “top newsmakers” could hope for an entire hour on his show anyway. Avenatti was reduced to looking like Jack Lemmon at the moment Alec Baldwin informed him that coffee is for closers.
Gutfeld simply responds by citing the joke in the article hitting Avenatti for trying to use a twitter feud to catapult himself onto a television show again:
He made a reference to this when a follower of his challenged Gutfeld to have him on his show:
He will never do this because @greggutfeld knows he will get owned on his own show.

Yikes. Poor schmuck. Avenatti is in the greatest hell he can imagine – consigned to obscurity away from his beloved television camera.
