So he’s a bit of a Nazi, so what
A Trump goon bullshits Evan Davis on Newsnight.
“I’m sad to say that you and your colleagues have fallen into this trap of fake news,” the goon says.
Sebastian Gorka, his name is. He’s been news himself lately.
Donald Trump’s Deputy Assistant has angrily denied being anti-Semitic after he was spotted wearing a military medal associated with Hungarian Nazi sympathisers.
Sebastian Gorka, who is of Hungarian descent but was born and raised in the UK, was pictured wearing the controversial badge at an inaugural ball for Mr Trump and several other events.
According to the LobeLog blog, the medal was given to Mr Gorka’s father by the group Vitezi Rend – meaning Order of Heroes – that consisted of supporters of Miklos Horthy, the former ruler of Hungary, who collaborated with the Nazis during World War Two. The US State Department lists the group as being directed by Nazi Germany.
Gorka ranted at Evan Davis about talk of anti-Semitism at the White House, and used Kushner as his shield. Nope. There are women working for Trump, too; that doesn’t mean he’s not a misogynist pig. He is a misogynist pig, and women who work for him are working for a misogynist pig. Kushner is working for an ignorant bully who has no objection to anti-Semites working for him. So it goes.
Why is Trump Adviser @SebGorka wearing medal of Nazi collaborating group? And why won't he answer ?'s about it? https://t.co/FTbzN0DwHT

Before joining Mr Trump’s team, Mr Gorka worked as a professor at the Institute of World Politics in Washington and as national security editor of Breitbart.
He was arrested in January 2016 after trying to board a plane with a 9mm pistol, charged with a weapons offence and is set to appear before a judge later this month.
Yes but Trump got 304 votes. Boom.
306! Fake news!
P.S. I didn’t say which figure was fake news.
Is it DC etiquette now for a non military person to wear a medal? A medal he did not earn? Is it jewelry or what? They are all making me sick.
Slime bags.
As to why he’s wearing it, it’s reminding me of this:

And why, at a black-tie event, is he wearing some bizarre Viennese Operetta/Prisoner of Zenda ‘military’ outfit?
Moonlighting as a bellhop?
The sad thing is how many people think Trump can’t be anti-Semitic because, Jared Kushner. The problem is that, even if he personally isn’t anti-Semitic, he is surrounding himself with people who are.
The Jared Kushner defense is the equivalent of “some of my best friends are [fill in blank with preferred oppressed minority]” or the common defense against misogyny: He’s married to a woman, he loves his daughter, he has a girlfriend, etc.
Why does Kushner tolerate all of this, and still stick by him? My guess is that Kushner is as corrupt as his father-in-law, and as driven by money as the family he married into.
And while Trump is denying being anti-semitic himself, instead of coming down hard on those threatening Jewish community centres etc., the other side is doing this kind of thing:
