Teen Vogue writer Lauren Duca faced off with Fox’s Tucker Carlson tonight in what became a mesmerizing and fierce back and forth about Ivanka Trump and various things that Duca has written. 
 
 Carlson challenged Duca for tweeting the following about Ivanka Trump shortly after she was confronted loudly on an airplane: 
 
 Ivanka Trump is poised to become the most powerful woman in the world. Don't let her off the hook because she looks like she smells good. — Lauren Duca (@laurenduca) December 23, 2016 
 
 Duca told Carlson she thinks Ivanka Trump shouldn’t be confronted like that in public, especially with her kids present, but also said the incoming First Daughter is not immune from criticism. 
 
 Carlson repeatedly confronted Duca for saying that Trump has a “sinister complicity” in the agenda pushed by her father. Duca completely stood by that comment and emphasized that there’s a difference between harassment of Trump and legitimate criticism of her for backing up the “most anti-woman candidate in decades.” 
 
 As they kept going back and forth, Duca told off Carlson for interrupting her saying: “You’re actually being a partisan hack that’s just attacking me ad nauseam and not allowing me to speak.” 
 
 Carlson moved on to her recent viral column about Trump “gaslighting” America, and when he said “Teen Vogue, which I guess you write for,” Duca immediately mocked his response by pointing out that, of course, he knew she wrote the magazine article from which he was quoting. 
 
 They then continued to battle over Duca’s contention that Trump is engaging in psychological warfare, and at one point Carlson brought up the fact that she writes about topics like Ariana Grande and thigh-high boots. 
 
 Carlson concluded the interview by saying, “You should stick to the thigh-high boots. You’re better at that.” Duca started to fire back but Carlson ended the segment. 
 
 She did, however, tweet this out afterwards: 
 
 .@TuckerCarlson is an enemy of rational discourse. In this fraught moment, his bully tactics are profoundly damaging, and achieve nothing. — Lauren Duca (@laurenduca) December 24, 2016

 Have a tip we should know? tips@mediaite.com ||||| Fox News host and Daily Caller editor-in-chief Tucker Carlson interviewed Teen Vogue writer Lauren Duca on Friday night, and the final result was kind of ugly. Duca and Carlson faced off over the recent incident where Ivanka Trump had been shouted at on a JetBlue flight, but it soon devolved into the Fox News host taking on a mocking tone while Duca stood her ground on her writing and her political statements online.

 Carlson was quick to bring up the tweet above from Duca in relation to the Trump incident before pivoting to her article in Teen Vogue titled “Donald Trump Is Gaslighting America.” This would all be fair game under normal circumstances, but Carlson seems to want to call out Duca as opposed to debating what was said in her tweets and in the article. To the Teen Vogue writer’s credit, she stood her ground and defended herself against Carlson and her position against the Trump administration:
– On a chilly Christmas Eve, why not warm up with a hot media fight between Fox News' Tucker Carlson and Teen Vogue writer Lauren Duca. Mediaite calls Friday night's interview—video here—a "mesmerizing and fierce back and forth," while Uproxx says it was "kind of ugly" and "infuriating...no matter what side you're on." Duca was being grilled about her statements that it's right to criticize Ivanka Trump for her "sinister complicity" in supporting the "most anti-woman candidate in decades"—though Duca admits that criticism shouldn't come in the form of harassment in front of her children. Carlson takes a "mocking tone" throughout the interview and seems more interested in attacking Duca than her ideas, leading to her declaring him a "partisan hack." Carlson ends the interview by telling the Teen Vogue writer: “You should stick to the thigh-high boots. You’re better at that.”
