Hillarious, FOX pundit (FAUX news known for fake news) calls out Gateway as a white supremacist conspiracy site.

Fox News Radio correspondent confronts Gateway Pundit reporter in White House briefing room

A Fox News Radio correspondent confronted in the White House briefing room the White House reporter for a website that traffics in conspiracy theories, witnesses said on Friday.

As reporters were getting settled ahead of Friday's briefing, the Fox correspondent Jon Decker pointed out that a reporter from Gateway Pundit, Lucian Wintrich, was in the room and that they "hate blacks, Jews, Hispanics," according to BuzzFeed White House correspondent Adrian Carrasquillo, who tweeted about the incident.

Decker also sent an email to the entire White House reporter email listserv, noting that the White House "has admitted Gateway Pundit into today's White House Press Briefing."

While some in the White House briefing room say the White House should be open to any and all outlets, others have expressed concern with certain outlets being legitimized via their White House credentials.

Fox News confirmed Decker was reacting to previous tweets Wintrich had posted. According to a White House Correspondent in the room, several reporters shook Decker's hands as he walked back to the Fox News radio booth.

"Props to Jon Decker for speaking up in the press room. It would be much harder for a minority reporter to speak up like he did," the correspondent said. "As a member of the WHCA board and as a white man him standing up and saying that meant a lot to reporters in the room."

Shortly after the interaction, Gateway Pundit published a post claiming that Decker grabbed Wintrich's arm, assaulted him and shouted that he was a Nazi and that The Gateway Pundit "is a white supremacist publication." Decker and Fox News deny that any sort of assault occurred. Another White House correspondent who witnessed the incident said no physical altercation occurred.

"Earlier today I had a conversation with a representative from the online publication Gateway Pundit," Decker said in a statement. "The conversation was straightforward and direct. I also informed the full White House pool that this representative was present in the Briefing Room. At no time did I accost or assault this individual. More than a dozen witnesses will attest to this fact."

Gateway Pundit, a pro-Donald Trump conservative blog known for at times posting false rumors, gained notice earlier this year when they announced they would be appointing a White House correspondent with official White House press credentials. While there are several interesting characters and self-described reporters who appear daily in the briefing room, the Gateway Pundit's inclusion has rankled some White House reporters who see them as an inappropriate addition to the briefing room.
