A swanky Correspondents’ Dinner after party turned violent in the early hours of Sunday morning after two reporters got into a fight.
Jesse Watters, a correspondent for the O’Reilly Factor on Fox News, was in a scuffle with Huffington Post’s Washington bureau chief Ryan Grim during the event hosted by MSNBC at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington D.C.
Dave Weigel, a national reporter for the Post, uploaded a picture of the pair getting into a tussle.
He said Grim took his phone out and started recording Watters, apparently giving the so-called ‘ambush reporter’ a taste of his own medicine.
