Journalist Mike Cernovich, best known for breaking the Susan Rice unmasking scandal, called out members of the White House press pool after Monday's press briefing.

"Why will nobody here cover the violence against Trump supporters," Cernvich said, "and why won't you demand that leaders of the Democrats disavow the violence of antifa the way you demanded Trump disavow violence from his supporters?"

"This is being completely covered up, you have no answer," he said.

Members of the press corps were heard shouting at him in response.

"I am a reporter, I'm a documentary filmmaker," Cernovich said. "And I want to know why nobody will demand that the Democrats disavow antifa violence -- terrorism against women happening in America."

"You realize, of course, this is a Republican president, we'll ask Democrats [unintelligible]," one reporter responds.

"Where? Where's the interview of you, demanding that Bernie Sanders disavow antifa? You're not making those demands the way you did with Trump, so it's unfair, it is very important that this get out there," Cernovich said.

Cernovich's actions were cheered on Twitter:

I've never seen a press conference where a member of the press stood up and called out the rest of the press. https://t.co/HMfZRoctB8

@Cernovich is more of a journalist, and has more balls than anyone in that room. https://t.co/muceAnWo13

It's hilarious to watch people who make a living off of asking questions of others freak out when questions are asked of them.
