Sebastian Gorka and Jim Acosta Trade Verbal Blows in White House Dust-up
The Daily Caller ^ | 1/18/2019 | Virginia Kruta

Posted on 01/19/2019 5:12:50 AM PST by grayboots

A drive-by sniping from CNN’s Jim Acosta caused Former White House adviser Sebastian Gorka to launch a loud, verbal barrage Thursday at the White House.

Multiple witnesses were aghast when they say Acosta saw Gorka, who just debuted his SALEM Radio Network show “America First,” and told him bluntly that media-related meetings with the president were for “real journalists” only. Gorka proceeded to berate Acosta at a high volume.

Gorka told The Daily Caller that the altercation had occurred earlier in the day as he waited for a meeting with President Donald Trump.

“I was waiting inside the entrance of the Briefing Room for a private meeting with the president,” Gorka told The Daily Caller.

Acosta walked in then, according to Gorka, touched his arm and said “Why are you here? This place is for journalists only,” then walked away. He also noted that the incident occurred in front of fellow SALEM host Mike Gallagher and Sirius Patriot XM host David Webb — and explained that, although they had been in the same building on several occasions, he and Acosta had never officially met prior to this incident.

I don’t really know who is actually bigger in stature because television can be deceptive but it appears that Gorka could mop the floor with Acostas head.

Acosta walked in then, according to Gorka, touched his arm and said “Why are you here? This place is for journalists only,”


i would’ve paid Gorka $1000 to turn to Acosta and say, “if those are the rules then what the hell are you doing here? You sure as hell are not a journalist!”

It wouldn't even be close. Gorka would flatten Acosta.

Gorka: over 6’3.5”
Abilio: short — he’s embarrassed about it enough to keep it quiet. I’d guess 5’8”.

A physical altercation would be virtually impossible with this difference in size.

Gorka’s show has just replaced Never-Trumper Michael Medved for the weekday noon-3 PM slot on KRLA in Los Angeles.

Why did he say Abilio? Is that Acosta’s real name or is this some sort of slang?

According to Wikipedia, Abilio is indeed Acosta's first name.

Note: I don't say "According to Wikipedia" because I think it's true, but because there may be some doubt as to whether it is true.
