He (PDJT) did not take questions, which prompted some in the press corps, seated at the back because those attending the president’s social media summit were given prime seats at the front, to shout out questions per usual. Playboy’s Brian Karem was being especially vocal, prompting Dr. Sebastian Gorka, host of the radio show American First on Salem Radio Network and former Deputy Assistant to President Trump, to confront Karem calling him a “punk.” Everyone there captured the confrontation, which drew chants of “Gorka” from the social media summit attendees, with one person yelling that the former Trump official could kick Karem’s “punk ass.”

Learned all his diplomacy from Dirty Harry movies.
Great work.
Gorka is a former rugger. He would have kicked the soy boy’s a$$ with extreme prejudice.
I watched a rugby match when I was in the U.
Rugby makes our football look like a badminton match.
This is that joke of a “journalist” from Playboy who has gotten on the far more serious sounding CNN as a “political analyst” by harassing Sarah Sanders.
I play too and I concur.
His writing doesn’t seem great and it looks like he has basically resorted to being surly as a means of career advancement. The worst thing you do is to give the guy publicity because that is his goal. I wonder how you might go about sending him off on wild goose chases? Would it be unethical to leak fake opportunities to embarrass Trump officials in public forums to this guy and send him all over the place? Wear him out like a badly behaved toddler?
I played college rugby back in the early 70’s because our my college did not have a football team.
Even though I was one of the smallest members, I had a blast taking down bigger opponents. No pads, no timeouts, no water, just keep hitting. Great game.
But the parties after the game, with both teams getting together drinking kegs and singing songs, were legendary on campus.
It is a rugged, tough sport not for pussies. I played football too but rugby is much tougher. No pads, no timeouts, continuous play, no breaks except at the half, no substitutions.
Broke two ribs as the hooker in a scrum in a tournament in Albuquerque. No substitutes so I had to play in pain.
The beer drinking afterwards was the best part. :-)
That social media summit was a so-far vastly under-reported big deal. This was, in fact, a culture clash between the MSM and what they have come to denigrate as the “Alt-Right” which is, in fact, nothing of the sort. Old journalists, meet the new. Your replacements.
My son was a rugger in college.. he said it was “ a thuggish game played by gentleman, soccer is a gentleman game played by thugs”
I also enjoyed the after game parties and most of the team still keeps in contact, and that was 13-15 years ago.
It’s a great sport. I played Division IA collegiate in a top ranked program and also men’s Division 1 club. Were you a scrum half?
No hard feelings, non-threatening, no fights, no violence, no bad sportsmanship at all.
A lot of good-natured mocking and taunting in a friendly beer-drinking-with-your-buddies way. Just a lot of fun guys who played hard and drank hard.
I met some of the nicest, meanest-looking guys playing rugby. Out on the field they were animals, but in the bar afterwards they were just your neighbor next door.
