Teen Vogue writer Lauren Duca is getting revenge on Tucker Carlson by selling shirts and donating the proceeds to Planned Parenthood… in Carlson’s name.
The Fox News personality first started feuding with Duca last year during an on-camera exchange in which he told her to “stick to the thigh-high boots.” The comment motivated Duca to start a column for the magazine titled, “Thigh High Politics,” and she now sells shirts that read, “I like my politics thigh-high.”
Each shirt costs $32 and 100 percent of the proceeds go to Planned Parenthood in Carlson’s name. Duca has already raised $10,000, according to Teen Vogue.
“A woman can love Ariana Grande and her thigh-high boots and still discuss politics. Those things are not mutually exclusive,” the shirt’s website says.
Carlson reignited his brawl with Duca in May, with the Fox News host blasting her as a “not very impressive 26-year-old blogger.”
Back in 2016, Duca called Carlson a “partisan hack,” while the Fox News host endlessly mocked her credibility. At one point, Carlson offered a non-apology for the months-old incident, saying Duca “delivered a performance so mindless and nasty that I lost control and snapped at her. I shouldn’t have done it, but I did.”
Carlson claimed the moment on his Fox News program, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” made Duca a “progressive hero,” and brought her up again in May because she had again made news.
“Now, we’re happy to make people famous, even not-very impressive 26-year old bloggers like Lauren Duca,” Carlson said. “It turns out that when she’s not barking on cable television or writing vapid pieces for teen magazines, Duca has yet another hobby… fantasizing about the deaths of her political enemies,” Carlson said before referencing a picture she tweeted of President Trump’s plane crashing.
“Duca later bravely deleted the tweet, but fortunately, the Internet never forgets,” Carlson said. “The left has gone insane.”
Duca responded via Twitter, writing, “Lol” with a screen grab of the extra attention Carlson was providing in real time.
She also called him a “sad, little man” in a follow-up tweet. It will be interesting to see if Carlson acknowledges the shirts on his show.
16 'Morning Joe' Trump Insults That Got Personal, From 'Schmuck' to 'Jackass' (Photos)
President Trump recently received a ton of criticism for sending out a pair of tweets about MSNBC's "Morning Joe" hosts “Psycho” Joe Scarborough and “low I.Q. Crazy” Mika Brzezinski.
“She was bleeding badly from a face-lift,” he wrote of an encounter with Brzezinski he claims he had in Florida weeks before his inauguration.

While nothing can justify the president mocking a woman's appearance, the "Morning Joe" duo have been attacking Trump for months.
Check out 16 recent times the MSNBC stars said something that Trump could have taken personally.

They compared him to Kim Jong-un
“This is unprecedented, to have a president who behaves this way,” Brzezinski said on June 23. “It does feel like a developing dictatorship."
Guest Donny Deutsch unloaded on Trump's appearance
Deutsch defended Brzezinski on June 30 following Donald Trump’s attacks on her, calling the president “physically disgusting to look at.”
Deutsch continued: “Enough is enough with this disgusting vulgar man and to talk about women that way, and the irony is you physically look like you do, beyond the stupidity of it. You are a pig."
Brzezinski said what Bill Clinton was to sex, Trump is to "decency"
"What Bill Clinton did to the issue of sex to an entire generation, I believe this president is doing on issues of decency, on issues of conspiracy theories, on issues of fake news," Brzezinski said in June 15. "I think it's that simple and we're desensitized if we even argue it."
"If the president seems delusional about his accomplishments, you can point no further than that room," Brzezinski said in June 14. "There are no real men in the inner circle of the White House... none at all."
After Trump staffers praised the president during a cabinet meeting, Scarborough said on June 13 it “was the most sick, shameful, pathetic, un-American, autocratic display.”
He continued: “I will tell you if I were ever in meeting and people did that to me, I would say shut up and I would fire you.”
Brzezinski called President Trump a “narcissist” and said it’s possible that he’s “mentally ill in a way” on June 8.
She continued: “I said it months ago… he’s not well. At the very least he’s not well and he’s so narcissistic that he does not believe the rules apply to him."
“Donald Trump, again, being a schmuck, thinking he can buy people’s integrity by inviting them over to the White House and wowing them,” Scarborough said on June 7 when discussing a dinner party at the White House. “That’s how he thinks. I know that first hand.”
Scarborough said Trump “is not a sane, rational human being”
“If any CEO, in a Fortune 500 company, was behaving this way, he or she would be removed immediately… they would take him out, he would have psychiatric evaluation and he would no longer be the CEO,” Scarborough said on June 6.
Scarborough blasted “President Bannon” on June 2 for the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Accord on climate change — using the trolling phrase seven times in half a minute.
“Time magazine was right: Steve Bannon is the president of the United States,” the MSNBC host said, before launching into a 30-second monologue referencing “President Bannon” repeatedly.
The morning show played audio of Press Secretary Sean Spicer telling reporters during an off-camera gaggle that Trump’s “covfefe” tweet wasn’t a typo and Americans shouldn’t be concerned.
Brzezinski set up her fiancé, “You said… it’s like a kid pooping their pants and then saying, ‘I meant to do that.”
“Well yes. It would be like somebody pooping their pants and then people looking at it and saying ‘oh that’s modern art don’t you understand,'” Scarborough said on June 1.
Scarborough called Trump a “bumbling dope” on May 11 because of the way a meeting with Russia’s Foreign Minister was handled.
“Looking at the front pages of the newspapers here… The Wall Street Journal also, you look, of course, at pictures. The shameful picture where the United States press corps was kept out but the Russians were allowed in,” Scarborough said while holding up the paper.
Scarborough slammed Trump on March 31, saying that Russians are lucky that POTUS is “stupid enough” to pick up their fake news.
“We’re obsessed on how the Russians have hacked, how the Russians have tried to impact this, how the Russians have tried to impact the White House,” Scarborough said. “We’re really just playing into their hands.”
