White House adviser says people should stop criticizing white supremacists so much
Gorka can't stop talking.
Judd Legum
No one is quite sure what Sebastian Gorka, officially a deputy assistant to President Trump, actually does at the White House. This hasnt stopped him, however, from being a near constant presence in the media.
Wednesday, Gorka appeared on Breitbart News Daily, the radio show of his former employer. Gorka responded to criticism stemming from a previous media appearance on MSNBC where he said [t]heres no such thing as a lone wolf attack. The concept, according to Gorka, was invented by the last administration to make Americans stupid.
The idea of a lone wolf attack, Gorka says, is a ruse to point blame away from al Qaeda and ISIS when [t]here has never been a serious attack or a serious plot that was unconnected from ISIS or al Qaeda. Critics were quick to point to the example of Timothy McVeigh, who was not connected to ISIS or al Qaeda and killed 168 people when he bombed a federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995.
On Wednesday, Gorka lashed out at at [New York Times reporter] Maggie Haberman and her acolytes in the fake news media, who immediately have a conniption fit and brought up McVeigh. He added that white men and white supremacists are not the problem.
