Nazi Meet Ya: Fox News Hires Former Trump Deputy Assistant Sebastian Gorka

At this point, it surprises no one that Fox News continues to hire a veritable all-star team of racists. Recent additions include Laura Ingraham, a woman who thinks undocumented immigrants who want to re-enter the country should be shot, and Tomi Lahren, whoโ€™s likened Black Lives Matter to the new Ku Klux Klan.

Well, take that racist casserole and add a side of Naziโ€”Sebastian Gorka, Donald Trumpโ€™s former deputy assistant and a man who, coincidentally, has ties to a Nazi-allied group.

As Forward discovered earlier this year, Vitรฉzi Rend, a far-right Hungarian group with strong Nazi ties, claimed that Gorka was a โ€œsworn member.โ€ Gorka also wore the groupโ€™s medal when he attended Trumpโ€™s inaugural ball in January. (Gorka denies having ever taken an oath of loyalty to the group.)

Gorka will join Fox as a โ€œnational security strategist,โ€ according to ThinkProgress, despite the fact that, without his controversial Fox News appearances, counterterrorism and national security experts told Politico that they wouldnโ€™t know who the hell he was:

โ€œWhen I first encountered his name during the transition, I did a triple-take. Iโ€™ve been in counterterrorism since 1998, and I thought I knew everyone. But Iโ€™d never heard his name and couldnโ€™t recall anything heโ€™d written or said,โ€ said Daniel Benjamin, who served as counterterrorism coordinator under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Really, Daniel? You couldnโ€™t even compliment Gorkaโ€™s beautiful gowns?

It isnโ€™t Gorkaโ€™s โ€œexpertiseโ€ that Fox News seeks as much as his reliable, you-can-set-a-Third Reich-clock-to-it Islamophobic and xenophobic views.

Peep the rรฉsumรฉ, courtesy of ThinkProgress:

White people and white supremacists are โ€œnot the problemโ€ when it comes to terrorism.

The presidentโ€™s silence about a mosque bombing was because the attack could have been faked by liberals.

The White House doesnโ€™t attack Islam and Muslims enough.

Sounds about white, which means itโ€™s a perfect fit for Fox.
