I think his academic credentials need a deep dive.
He is calling something brilliant that hasn't happened yet, would appear to be a set up to dems, and Gorka just blasted out the jig.
Idiot!

Sebastian Gorka is a sometimes Trump advisor who is a nationalist:

It's amazing what you can find by typing in someone's name.

Gorka is a bad actor.

He's more Nazi than nationalist. And like all Nazis, he needs time behind the big iron gates.

I'm so impressed. No apologies, no appeasement, no name calling, she just stuck to her guns. I would like to know how she thought this through, what were her internal machinations about the whole matter.

However she thought of it, she did it very well.

Speaker Pelosi knows how to handle children, therefore she knows how to handle Dump.

She is a devoted and principled mom and grandma.
