Argument Erupts Between Journalists at Substack Party Amid Assassination Attempt Lockdown

An argument broke out between journalists at a Substack party on Saturday night, escalating to threats of a fight about 20 minutes after the Secret Service lifted a lockdown triggered by a presidential assassination attempt, where the Secret Service confined revelers inside for hours while police handled the assassination attempt.

'I’m not going to leave. F–k you. Get the f–k off of me,' according to a source. A woman at the event said, 'Sir, you need to calm down and leave. If you don’t, I’m gonna get police involved,' as detailed by the source. A friend eventually coaxed him to leave the party.

Then he had the security do his dirty work instead. One journalist continued posting on X, stating, 'Still have no idea whatever went on with Trump tonight, just know [another journalist] threw a f*ckin’ hissing fit. ' He also posted a picture of the Hampton Inn where he was waiting.

Another journalist posted on social media on April 26, 2026, addressing the incident: 'you are trash,' and, 'We saw what you did at the Substack party. ' The journalist claimed the other was bullying a reporter who worked at the Miami Herald on Epstein.

' The second journalist responded on X about the reporter: 'No one ‘harassed’ you. Liar. Enjoy the bogus Netflix series based on the ‘memoir’ you fabricated quotes for. ' A YouTuber described the lockdown atmosphere, stating: 'It got weird because the thing about parties is people are coming and going.

But they kept us locked in there until there was an all clear. ' During the incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the president was evacuated before briefing the press. One Secret Service agent was shot. A radio host, inside the ballroom, heard sounds like gunfire, pop, pop, pop, and security yelled for everyone to get down.
