Sebastian Gorka, best known for wearing Nazi-sympathizer gear, being a raging Islamophobe, and trend-setting as one of the early White House disgraces in an administration made up of disgraces, still gets to talk into microphones. An obvious outlet for the kind of ignorant, hate-filled drivel Gorka pedals is Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show. Fox News’s big push is to tell the people watching that they are in the majority; and what their eyes and ears are telling them is not true. After an insane run where Gorka explains that the United States should have 6,000,000 steel workers which is why Trump’s tariff plan is a good idea, they passed it on to their less insane guest, Philippe Reines. A former adviser to Hillary Clinton, Reines knew that the clock would run out on his time the moment he opened his mouth, so he began with this:
Reines: I don't know what America we are talking about. Sixty-five percent of America disagrees with what the president is doing. [Gorka begins to interrupt] Dr. Gorka, could I speak? You know, I’ve heard his opinions [Gorka] and read about them. I was hoping to God that when I got this close I would smell booze and make it a little bit more understandable.
Kapow!
Gorka and Ingraham were instantly “offended” by the “personal” attack, at which point one of the greatest moments of theater ever appeared. Gorka makes a big to-do about how he didn’t realize things were going to be “personal.” He pulls up his smartphone to read a tweet that Reines supposedly wrote at some time—I guess Gorka just happened to have that on his smartphone the whole time?
Gorka: You tweeted out today Donald Trump wants to arm white supremacist teachers. You have Trump derangement syndrome. You are talking about booze on my breath, that's the Democrats, that's why you lost, buddy.
I have to say, I think Donald Trump DOES want to arm white supremacists. In fact, the Republican platform has always been to arm white supremacists. Gorka cannot handle being hit in his safe space and he’s been having a hard time in traditionally conservative safe spaces lately. Ingraham, shocked by the slightest whiff of pushback, is so flustered it almost makes you forget what a fascistic racist she is.
Enjoy.
