"Trump’s Son Says Mike ‘Pizzagate’ Cernovich Deserves a Pulitzer
Mike Ceronvich, who propagated the lie that a child-sex ring existed below a pizza shop, claims he broke the news that Susan Rice “unmasked” Trump officials’ names. He’s been praised by Mike Flynn and now Don Jr. and Kellyanne Conway.

The president’s son said Tuesday a man who believes there is an child-sex ring literally underground at a Washington, D.C. pizza restaurant should win a Pulitzer Prize for reporting.
“Congrats to @Cernovich for breaking the #SusanRice story,” Donald Trump Jr. wrote at 8:41 AM. “In a long gone time of unbiased journalism he'd win the Pulitzer, but not today!”
He’s talking about Mike Cernovich, a pro-Trump writer who catapulted to online infamy with the publication of his book Gorilla Mindset, (endorsed by Mike Flynn) and his #HillarysHealth tweets during the election to assert that Hillary Clinton was dying.
The Pulitzer-worthy story — in Trump’s eyes — is where Cernovich asserted that former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice was “unmasking” the names of incoming Trump administration officials in U.S. surveillance reports. Bloomberg subsequently published a similar story, this time quoting sources, saying it was Rice.
Former national security officials have reportedly described the “unmasking” process as routine and far from illegal or even improper, but Cernovich’s story was big enough and widely shared enough that it provided a counteroffensive against consistent damaging stories about investigations into potential ties between Trump officials and Russia.
