    Pointing out the karma of one of the most divisive and offensive people to ever have a position in a presidential administration appearing at a white house organized summit of extreme right wing social media trolls IN THE ROSE GARDEN and engaging with a media person who egged him on, screaming he "was a punk!" (pictured below).

    And of course, the trump supporter defending it and complaining about the media.

    you completely dodged the question. what are you claiming Gorka did wrong in the altercation? He didn't start it, he just responded to a CNN 'reporter' asking him to go fight outside.

    I think someone of any sense of dignity and self control wouldn't have screamed "You are a punk!" on the White House lawn at reporter who obviously was egging him on (they have had past run ins). You also failed to report that gorka told Steve Herman of Voice of America that he is an "asshat." So yes, "gorka did wrong. "

    btw, the reporter said he reached out to apologize to gorka afterwards (gorka refused). Also btw, the reporter actually works for Playboy Magazine and is only a contributor at CNN.

    The CNN guy should be fired.

    The MSM realizes they aren’t the only game in town any more, and it causes them to behave badly like this episode that the CNN guy caused.

    Defending a nazi sympathizer makes you a nazi sympathizer sympathizer.

    How dare anyone shout down a nazi sympathizer on a nazi sympathizer’s front lawn. Someone needs to fire that nazi hating son of a gun. Nazi sympathizers are people too.

    You gotta to love how the right has created their bubble.

    Anything that doesn't fit their insane narrative is, "Fake News"

    Is it not easy to see that a lot of people in this thread that do not even have all of the information. Then can proceed to pick sides with this story along idealogical lines? This should not have anything to do politics, issues, or anything else really. But still people here can on the right say Gorka did nothing wrong, while those on the left think he did. Something revolvling along those lines at least.

    It is quite simple that people here and many in this country and probably many other places are on a team. Want to argue and debate. Just looking for something to prove their stance that goes in line with their side.

    (This is where I am insulting)

    It's Pathetic. And a waste of time that could 100% be better spent somewhere else.

    And yet you have no problem with white nationalists being invited to the white house lawn.

    The fact that so many people are losing their heads over this is a win for Trump. Gorka really won because he will only get more popular. Trump wasted a lot of time during this though and didn't pull it off exactly right, and failed to stay on message. This was a wasted chance for him.

    The loser who tried to start a fight also hurt his profession, even though the mass media has pretty much blown their trust with the public. The man shouldn't be allowed near the white house for throwing fighting words out there. He is not stable.

    And judging by people's reactions here... they were nothing more than garden variety conservatives and centrists.

    What an embarrassment. There’s really nothing more to be said. Trump has turned the White House into a clown show, and that’s not really fair to actual clowns.

    And the Trumpers here are game for it because... own the libs. Destroy our country in every way imaginable....to own the libs. Cynical bastards.

    stock market is at an all time high, as is black and Hispanic employment. Yet the country is destroyed in every way imaginable. Umm, kid, you’re clueless.

    Lol nope. We were assured by the dems that Trump would crater the stock market and his racist actions would result in Hispanics and blacks doing poorly. Hasn’t happened!
