Lucian Wintrich (remember him? The “Twinks4Trump” twink?) — a gay reporter covering a White House press conference — reports that he was bullied and threatened by Mike Pence wielding an electric cattle prod other Mainstream Media reporters who didn’t care for his kind.
As reporters entered Friday’s White House press briefing, witnesses reported that (Fox Radio News Reporter) Decker loudly, and allegedly physically, accosted Wintrich personally, calling him a “Nazi,” and saying of the site, “they hate blacks, Jews, and Hispanics.”
Wintrich asserted that Decker physically blocked him from entering and that he will be pressing charges against the Fox reporter.
After the incident, Politico reported that Decker’s actions were applauded by several White House reporters, who “shook Decker’s hands as he walked back to the Fox News radio booth.”
Most gay news reported it as him being attacked at the white house, but it actually was a rough bathroom encounter with a fox news reporter.
The founder of Twinks for Trump says he was assaulted by a Fox News reporter at the White House — though no one who was there so far supports that claim.
Not even one month has passed since Lucian Wintrich, the gay conservative firebrand who is pals with Milo Yiannapoulos, got credentials needed to join the White House press briefing for the first time. He and his conspiracy-theory-pushing boss at Gateway Pundit took a photo that first day behind Sean Spicer’s podium, while irreverently making a hand signal commonly understood as a hate symbol. They shared it using the “pepe” hashtag and emoji, which is also a symbol for alt-right racism.
The Advocate
I arrived at the White House Press Briefing Room on Friday and was simply standing in line for the bathroom. I was accosted by Fox’s Jon Decker, who loudly informed the entire room that I hate blacks, women, Hispanics, Jews, and other minorities. I was astounded. Lucian via

Well they weren’t wrong. They just forgot to mention that it was a threat, rather than a warning.
So conservative Twitter seems to be divided somewhere between “There had to be witnesses, right? Prove it or it didn’t happen” and “This is less to do with what they claim it was about than a turf war between Legacy Media and New Media and the fact that the current administration is far more accepting of the latter than the former.”
Much as I respect Lucian Wintrich for all he’s gone through in the past year or so, he does strike me as one of the first people in any given room to loudly proclaim “Ow, ow…I broke a nail!” While any such behavior doesn’t excuse obnoxious behavior on the part of someone else–even a reluctant colleague–it might explain to a small degree why he’s not seen as part of The Club.
I see nothing wrong with Gateway Pundit but Wintrich is going to have to man up. Gateway is a little overboard at times, but the Democrat Media is also as well as Fox News. GP got its in because of unwavering support for Trump. Was willing to publish anything, including fake news, to further Trump’s campaign. No big deal.
It’s a competition.
Screaming that he’ll sue people for blocking him, is a bit petty. I laugh in the faces of people like that. He’s a wimp & the Fox guy is a putz.
I still think PressSecy Spicer needs to move the whole lot of them to the Eisenhower Executive Ofc Bldg. Add more news outlets, dilute the Democrat Media Complex to the point where no one notices that they’re even being ignored.
The operative word at this point is “allegedly”; it’s possible that the Fox reporter’s words and behavior were actually much milder than claimed by “victim” Wintrich, and that the twink is being a drama queen in order to gin up controversy to the advantage of PJ Media.
But assumimng it’s all true, I would tend to guess that Decker (the Fox reporter) is also a sausage-smuggler, and this was a gay-on-gay thing. (More specifically, a “righteous gay” going after an “Auntie Tom,” at least in his own mind.)
This coming from someone who explains a lot of campus rapes as “make stupid choices, win stupid prizes.”
