İrfan Değirmenci criticized Göker's post in the main news bulletin and stated that the things mentioned in the video were wrong. Değirmenci suggested Göker to “go to Cihangir and observe what the people living there really talk, watch and listen to”.
Following the criticism of the famous presenter, Göker made a statement on his own account and said, “I have made videos criticizing the right-wing for years, I don't remember being criticized in channels like A Haber.”.

İrfan Değirmenci responded to this statement and said, “There is no relation between the right and the left, dear brother. The typology you satirize is not realistic. I recommend you to observe the society better, so that you can both make us laugh and think in your future sketches. This is my right to criticize.”.
