Stupidest White House Correspondent On Internet Tells Native Americans To Go Back To Mexico

Flipping off Mount Rushmore is not in the Constitution!
Lucian Wintrich, the Milo-in-Training of Jim Hoft, the Stupidest Man on the Internet, found a thing to be outraged about over the weekend: a photo of three of those people flipping off the big stonefaces of Mt. Rushmore. He has a very important thought for stupid clueless liberals everywhere to consider:

Its true: Why did we ever let these people into our country if they treat our sacred places like this? is certainly what the Lakota people have long thought about the theft of their land and the desecration of the place that used to be called Six Grandfathers. Unfortunately, its a little late for them to toughen up the lax immigration laws of 1492, so the interlopers stayed and decided the place belonged to them. And now the descendants of the invaders wish there were some way to send rude indigenous people back where they came from, or something.
Wintrichs Tweet was met with some enthusiasm by one guy, who thinks its awfully hypocritical of people to come from foreign lands and wave their foreign flags around here, unless of course its an Irish flag in his own Twitter profile:

Most of the replies were a bit more scathing in pointing out that the stupid bigot wasnt even being a bigot in the right direction the whole thread is good for a laugh. One set of replies came from a Tweetperson who thought maybe those words were being applied to the wrong foreign intruders:

Lucian Wintrich paced in front of the White House, a cellphone pinned to his ear. On the line was his boss, Jim Hoft, founder of The Gateway Pundit, a right wing blog that dabbles in conspiracy theories for the site's 5 million monthly readers. "This makes me look like a pussy," he muttered, "like I didn't want to go in today." Moments earlier, the White House had denied Wintrich access to a daily briefing with White House press secretary Sean Spicer. Wintrich, 28, suggested that Hoft pull some strings and "get in touch with Hicks or Bannon maybe Hicks?" He was referring to President Trump's director of strategic communications, Hope Hicks, and chief strategist, Steve Bannon, who is openly contemptuous of the mainstream media.
Since Wintrich had been named the site's first White House correspondent, he had struggled with the newness of Washington. Gay and nominally Jewish, he felt more at home in New York, where he had worked as a "creative" at a prominent ad agency and a club promoter. He dated a creative-writing student and model from Colombia and took filter-heavy pictures of scantily clad teen boys. But Wintrich was no liberal. He had grown disillusioned with progressive politics during college, and his contrarian stances sharpened during the election. At the Republican National Convention, he had gathered his pictures into an exhibit called "Twinks for Trump," in which boys sported "Make America Great Again" caps. He parlayed his transformation from a college progressive to a Milo Yiannopoulos disciple, and then, with nearly no training in journalism, befriended Hoft, who helped him grab a powerful seat in the elite world of Washington media. He's one of a few dozen people who have a badge and an invite to the James S. Brady briefing room and consistent access to many of Trump's most senior advisers. In recent weeks, he's written about North Korea, Russia and Trump's relationship with the media.
Now Wintrich was wondering aloud whether his exclusion was part of a liberal media conspiracy. He turned to tell an interviewer from WeAreChange.com that a "nefarious plot" had been hatched by the White House Correspondents' Association.
To an observer, the display felt like a temper tantrum, and by design, it probably was. It also felt in keeping with the media circus that has emerged out of Trump's arrival in Washington, where a penumbra of reality television seems to hang over everything. Trump's late-night tweet storms and his bashing of reputable media outlets as "fake news" have fostered relentless, high-octane drama. The turmoil has blown open space for exploitation by outlets long considered fringe or disreputable. This is where Wintrich, who proudly proclaims himself a media troll, lives. "Like, obviously I'll take the occasional jab at media," he said. "Because I hate them all."
The distaste is mutual. "You can't call what he does reporting," says one longtime White House correspondent for a top U.S. newsweekly. "It's just offensive and meant to be provocative.
