It wasn’t all fun and games over at The White House Correspondents’ Dinner with Obama doing a mic drop…
And comedian Larry Wilmore calling the president “My N–ga”…
A fight broke out between Fox News reporter Jesse Watters and Ryan Grim, the Huffington Post’s Washington bureau chief, when Grim decided to take up an old beef he had with Watters’ use of “ambush journalism” that was aimed at Grim’s HuffPo colleague, writer Amanda Terkel, back in 2009. Terkel at the time wrote about the incident in a piece called “I Was Followed, Harassed, And Ambushed By Bill O’Reilly’s Producer.”
According to the Washington Post,
“Grim decided to give Watters a taste of his own medicine, whipping out his camera phone and filming him. Watters didn’t take well to this, eventually snatching the phone away from Grim and putting it in his pocket. Grim set out to retrieve it, and a scuffle ensued. No cinematic sparring or broken beer bottles, witnesses said, but the two flailed around a bit, upending a table and bumping into several people.”
“Punches were definitely thrown,” said one witness.
Before any damage was done, several bystanders, including Sean Spicer, communications director at the Republican National Committee, separated the two. Spicer said he didn’t see the lead-up to the fight and said he was merely attempting to stay true to the party venue. “Just trying to keep the peace,” he said.

Grim commented that, “Ambush guy can’t take getting ambushed. Maybe he should think about his life choices. Watters will share his side of the matter tonight on The O’Reilly Factor.
