Today The Gateway Pundit founder Jim Hoft and White House correspondent Lucian Wintrich attended their first White House press briefing in the East Room of the Trump White House.
Media Matters led the charge
A Dangerous Troll Is Now Reporting From The White House
The internets most hapless political blogger now has his own White House correspondent a regular contributor with little reporting experience but ample ties to alt-right harassment sitting in the White House press briefing room.
At the January 19 Deploraball event before President Donald Trumps inauguration, Gateway Pundit founder and dumbest man on the internet Jim Hoft announced that his outlet would have a White House correspondent with the Trump administration, and that Lucian Wintrich would fill the position. On February 13, Hoft posted a reader alert that Hoft and Wintrich will be attending the days White House press briefing. Hoft confusingly wrote, Please look for us and keep your fingers crossed that one of us is asked a question.
Hours later, Hoft tweeted a photo of himself and Wintrich standing behind the lectern in the White House press briefing room, displaying a hand signal associated with the racist Pepe meme. The tweet itself also included the hashtag Pepe and a frog emoji, commonly understood to invoke the hate symbol.

Sure, Pepe the cartoon frog is racist! So is the “ok” hand sign!
Because, it didn’t used to be, but it is now!
Because, the MSM said so!
Everytime Trump goes “ok” he’s signaling everybody to think racist thoughts!
I would suspend Media Matters for five days. Second offense, 30 days.
Known racist using Pepe sign
Okay is now hate speech?
= = =
OK
O for Okies
K for KKK
Simple path from there to ‘hate speech’.
Or ‘hate hands’, especially white, male ‘hate hands’, in this case.
Media Smatters talking about political trolls. FUMM
Soros has less than a week to live .....
Pepe sears leftist's psyche
I didn’t know Pepe was racist either.
Why do you say that?
Anything said by someone not a leftist is “hate speech.” That is why there is “so much hate speech” on the right.
Obama’s middle finger never bothered them...but “OK” does?
So says Media Matters, spawn of a Hungarian NAZI who believes he is a god.
What de fawk?
How did I miss all that?
What do you expect from a bunch of Soros jagoffs - decorum?
ROFL!!! Love it!!!
Then they say;
How can both those statements be true?
While we're at it -- how was it determined that Jim Hoft is "dumbest man on the internet"? Certainly there's stiff competition in that area? Does the winner get a prize, or maybe awarded SSI (for being too dumb -- the dumbest)?
Hold on a sec.---
After a bit of clicking around (within media matters articles) beginning from the link supplied here, after a detour through wonkette (bleech) I now see that it was media matters that awarded Hoft the "prize". I'll not link to the article from 2010 where the mediaasses did so (having closed that tab already, sorry folks, ya'll can dig for the pissing match account on yur' own) but going through their rationale for just why Hoft was "the dumbest", after a while I was struck with the thought that mediaasses were projecting finding in Hoft's loose-as-a-goose style a reflection of their own constant massaging of details. They're almost as click-baity as Hoft. They read things into images and details that are not truly there -- like for example, the circled OK thumb and forefinger and "Pepe" being racist, etc. They made up that meme, and not entirely unlike them, Hoft often squints at and squeezes at details --seeing what he wants to see, then whatever truly is there (often, only slim pickings) blows it all up into clickbait headline.
Perhaps they don't like the competition, yet Hoft helps keep them occupied (is there a pun in there somewhere? a buried beneath the word "occupied" unspoken message about residence maybe?) and in business, by being one of their most favorite targets.
Fags fighting fags.
Wrong kind of girl-fight, though. Wouldn't be entertaining to see the clothes come off of any of those weirdo's.
Personally, I think we'd do ourselves here at FR a service by keeping Hoft at arm's length (or better, yet further) away.
lol At least media matters described the announcement as having been made at the January 19th deploraball event, correctly...
some in the media missed the fact that the NPC event was just one of more than 50 DeploraBall events, and it wasn’t even the first one that took place.
