Nazi-sympathizing former White House aide Sebastian Gorka continues to stay in the public imagination via his new book. The launch party for the book, titled something like I Desperately Want to be Seen as an Alpha Male,* was held at … Washington, D.C.,’s Trump Hotel. Shock! Special guests at the event included Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, former Fox News troll Kimberly Guilfoyle, as well as a real-life White House staffer! According to the Washington Post, Darla Shine, wife of Bill Shine, a former Fox News executive and now Minister of Propaganda White House deputy chief of staff for communications, introduced her husband to the bigoted literati by saying “I’m the racist and he’s the rapist!”
[Pause for laughter.]
[Take a deep breath, try to relax.]
Darla Shine wasn’t done.
Wait wait, let her explain. Back in July, Mrs. Shine came under fire for a series of (since deleted) tweets about the use of the “n-word” in rap music. In one she wrote, “Blacks stop using the N word!” Shine also promoted medical conspiracy theories about the link between vaccinations and autism: “1 out of 10 black boys has autism.” At Tuesday night’s book party, Mrs. Shine, a former TV producer, doubled down and said she can’t sing her favorite song – “Gold Digger” by Trump fan Kanye West – or else she’d be called racist.
When Bill Shine was swamped into the White House, Darla had to quickly delete her wildly racist Twitter account. So, while she says (in a most racist way) that she isn’t racist, everyone around her thought it best to get rid of her totally racist social media presence. Considering that this administration’s top social media presence, Donald Trump, writes things like this ...
… it’s amazing that Darla wasn’t made the White House press secretary. I guess there’s still time. According to the Post, Bill Shine sat at the bar for most of the event, and whisked his wife away when the subject of Sen. Elizabeth Warren came up.
