Lucian Wintrich, White House Correspondent For Gateway Pundit, Arrested After Altercation At UConn Talk
Lucian Wintrich, White House correspondent for the far-right website Gateway Pundit, was arrested by UConn police after an altercation at the event he was speaking at Tuesday night.

He began the talk with an anecdote of who he described as a “fat woman” recognizing him in a bar and telling the owner she felt unsafe. From there, his topics ranged from illegal immigration to the reason his poster featured a man in Renaissance-era garb — to assert that there is less acceptance of the traditional clothing of white cultures than of other races.
