Sebastian Gorka a far right-winger who attended the “social media summit” went all jerry springer on a journalist in the rose garden today. Trump’s social media crowd cheered on as the journalist was abused. This is what the WH stands for today people. Please let’s put someone new in the WH next year.

… in the rose garden of the @whitehouse, @sebgorka just screamed at journalist @briankarem calling him a "punk." then someone remarked that gorka could "kick your punk ass."

again, this happened… in the rose garden.

WH officials invited Trump's social media allies to sit in the Rose Garden. But after the event was over, West Wing aides did nothing when those social media figures began to verbally abuse reporters who were trying to do their jobs. A good snapshot of how press is treated by WH. https://t.co/j0Ys542dok

Why does the news media put up with BS, when it comes down to it the politicians need the media more than the media needs them. So boycott the Whitehouse just don’t turn up, it’s not like he’s going to call Fox after attacking them, so he will be stuffed. And when the Whitehouse needs publicity they will come crawling. The fourth estate needs to band together and say enough is enough after all they are just doing their jobs and don’t deserve the abuse. We have a similar situation in Australia with the government attacking journalists with prosecution for… Read more »

I agree with Dave there. They need to just cut him off. All he does is lie & everybody knows it. It’s not newsworthy. Cover him if there’s an actual press conference like a normal administration. Other then that ignore him. Bet he’ll start the press conferences back up. He’s just got to try to grab the narrative & spotlight everyday. Don’t let him. Focus on the Mueller testimony, kids in cages, his good friend Epstein.

You cannot ignore evil , it must be stopped as soon as it recognized. Chamberlain said ignore Hitler , he’s just a well meaning leader , who can be worked with . Well he was wrong , and it took 85 millions dead and 6 years later to correct this mistake. We are on the verge of a disintegration of our Democracy , with a madman as president, that has enormously more military power than Hitler, ever had and not nearly as smart . This cannot continue , we are nearly at a tipping point , from which we may… Read more »

All these problems are contrived ,to create chaos . And they seem to work for them , because ,that’s how Trump and company try to control their base . They love drama and constant fighting among all their base , because most of those folks , have lived in chaos most of their lives . They are narrow minded , and they love being that way . They usually listen or view Fox only ,because it suits their personality, not because they want to objectively look at all sides , it’s only their side that counts . Like most of… Read more »
