1. counterpunch

   A counterpunch is a punch thrown in return or response to an attack by an opponent. This term is commonly used in boxing or martial arts to refer to a defensive strategy where a fighter attempts to land a punch immediately after an attack by the opponent, taking advantage of the opponent's off-balance position or lack of defense. In a broader sense, it can be used metaphorically to refer to a swift reaction or reply to criticism or an attack in a debate or argument.

1. CounterPunch

   CounterPunch is a monthly magazine published in the United States that covers politics in a manner its editors describe as "muckraking with a radical attitude". Other sources have described it as left-wing; most, but not all, of its contributors are on the left. CounterPunch magazine has published frequent commentaries by the late Alexander Cockburn and current editor-in-chief Jeffrey St. Clair and editor Joshua Frank with regular contributions by a wide range of others. It is noted for its critical coverage of both Democratic and Republican politicians and its extensive reporting of environmental and trade union issues, American foreign policy, and the Israeli-Arab conflict.

Examples of CounterPunch in a Sentence

1. Donald Trump:

   I don't think I'm going to be throwing punches. I'm not looking to attack, every attack I've made was a counterpunch. They attacked me first, and I hit them back -- maybe harder than they hit me, but the fact is that I've been attacked pretty viciously by some of these guys.

2. George Salmon:
