WASHINGTON -- Former Deputy Assistant to the President Dr. Sebastian Gorka and Brian Karem, White House reporter for Playboy, got into a shouting match in the Rose Garden at the White House on Thursday.
Trump had tweeted that the Rose Garden event would be a press conference but he did not take questions from reporters on-site.
"The White House will be hosting a very big and very important Social Media Summit today. Would I have become President without Social Media? Yes (probably)! At its conclusion, we will all go to the beautiful Rose Garden for a News Conference on the Census and Citizenship," Trump wrote Thursday on Twitter.
Many of the guests at the president's announcement on the census citizenship question were conservative activists who had attended the White House Social Media Summit beforehand. Karem and other reporters were shouting questions as Trump left the event.
In response, Karem said the attendees were a group of people “eager for demonic possession.”
Gorka heard Karem’s comment and responded, saying, “And you’re a journalist, right?”
Karem replied, “Come over here and talk to me brother, we can go outside and have a long conversation.”
“You’re threatening me in the Rose Garden?” Gorka replied. “You’re a punk. You’re not a journalist. You’re a punk.”
Karem responded, “Go home. Hey, Gorka, get a job.”
As guests and the media left the Rose Garden, Karem attempted to shake Gorka’s hand but Gorka told him, “you’re done.”

I thought Playboy went bankrupt and was shut down when Hefner died?
Bring back pistol dualing.
Really sad that there is such a lack of decorum even in the White House.
They need to ban the disrupters. If they yell, inform them that they can submit written questions.
You know your career is in the toilet when you take a job working for a porn magazine founded by America’s leading pimp.
Why does Playboy have a White House reporter? That should make feminists furious
You’re done! This also sums up the 2020 election in regards to these leftist and their journalist jackasses. Their done! Most Americans have long had a belly full of these liberal loud mouths and their habitual complaining and bitching.
I really hope the little s—+ gets his credential pulled.
A free press means you can write whatever you want without fear of censorship or prison for what you write. A free press does not mean you are permitted complete access to anywhere you want to go to talk with whomever you want to. Access is a situation completely on the “journalist” or their employer. “Journalists” need to learn to not wear out their welcome, particularly when they cross over into “opposing propagandist” status. Which 95% of the press is and has been since Cronkite.
I suppose Trump could revoke Playboy’s credentials but we all know some Obama judge would just unrevoke them.
