This kid has White House Press Credentials

#1 Post by Jeemie » Tue Feb 21, 2017 8:37 am

All the talk about Trump attacking the "fake news"...we have a glimpse now of the types of people he thinks are providing "real news".

About a week ago, Donald Trump granted press credentials to the Gateway Pundit, founded by Jim Hoft...or, as he is more widely known, The Stupidest Man on the Internet.

Imagine the most whacked-out alt right story you can think of...multiply the whack factor by 1,000- that's a story that will end up on the Gateway Pundit.

But that's not the most whacked part of this story.

The most whacked part of this story is that the correspondent The Gateway Pundit chose to have in the White House Press Room.

Meet 28-year-old Lucian Wintrich.

He's got TWO MONTHS of journalistic experience.

He's a really great artist though...created an excellent photo project known as Twinks4Trump, featuring scantily-clad men wearing #MAGA hats.

Kinda reminds me of James Guckert, the "male escort" who had press credentials at one time during George W. Bush's administration under the pseudonym Jeff Gannon.

The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Sean Spicer would claim that bird is just pining for the fjords.

This was my favorite...Hoft and Lucian trolling the world with the racist Pepe meme...from the White House Press Room.
Trump's White House is all class!

Note...before any one tries to argue this wasn't the racist Pepe meme...when these guys posted this picture of themselves to Twitter, they also typed #Pepe and added a frog emoji.

Thank you for the additional information. I had seen posts identifying the meme, but I wasn't certain how reliable they were. --Bob
