6:42Now PlayingMichael Avenatti is not a fan of criticism, much like Donald Trump, and Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins found that out after some light trolling of the lawyer. Farron brought up the charges against Avenatti after he seemingly took a swipe at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and when Avenatti saw the tweet a week later, he sent a hilariously deranged message to Farron. Watch Farron talk about the message and remind everyone of the charges facing Michael Avenatti.

So a very interesting thing happened to me, uh, recently on Twitter and I'm just going to show you the tweets and the message. This involves myself and attorney Michael Avenatti. You see on July 7th, Michael Avenatti and all, you know, we've got the pictures, screenshots. We're going to show them all to you. July 7th, Michael Avenatti tweets, the following,
"Could @AOC win a statewide race in MI, OH, WI, PA or FL?"
That's what he tweeted out July 7th. It was a Sunday. So I quote tweeted it, retweeted with comment, whatever you call it. And I said, quote,
"yes she can. The question you should be worried about is can you win your trial for being a corrupt fraud who stole from his clients?"
Simple question, right? You know a little bit a light trolling here and there on Twitter never hurt anybody except apparently it hurt Michael Avenatti's feelings when he finally noticed it this past Sunday.
Now here's the thing I'm trying to figure out. Actually right off the top of my head. Did it, did he not notice it until a week later or was he so pissed off about it that it took them a full week to send me in a direct message? This response and here's the screenshot of it.
"You are truly a piece of shit. A disgrace. How can you call yourself a lawyer when you don't even believe in the presumption of innocence? Get the fuck off my feed. You are a nobody and always will be. And your picture? hahahahhahahahah."
All right. First and foremost, I do not, nor have I ever claimed to be an attorney, a lawyer. I'm not have not been to law school. I do however, work with some of the best lawyers in this country on a daily basis, not just here in the city of Pensacola, but all over the country. I have interviewed damn near every living member of the trial lawyer hall of fame. Something that I can promise you, Mr. Avenatti, you are never going to be a part of, I am the executive editor of the trial lawyer magazine, but I've never said I'm a lawyer. In fact, in multiple different interviews, I have actually had to tell people when they've called me a lawyer say, no, no, no, I am not a lawyer. But if you'll notice at the bottom of that little message says I'm no longer allowed to uh, respond to that. And the reason is because right after sending this and accusing me of something, by the way, that I never did, which is why I'm even talking about this, he blocked me. There it is right there. Blocked, can't look at his stuff. Luckily I have an audio was not smart enough to block The Ring of Fire Twitter account so we can still access all of his stuff via that because he's really not that bright and clearly not that great at research either.
