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, whoâs likened Black Lives Matter to the new Ku Klux Klan.
Well, take that racist casserole and add a side of NaziâSebastian Gorka, Donald Trumpâs former deputy assistant and a man who, coincidentally, has ties to a Nazi-allied group.

As Forward discovered earlier this year, VitĂ©zi Rend, a far-right Hungarian group with strong Nazi ties, claimed that Gorka was a âsworn member.â Gorka also wore the groupâs medal when he attended Trumpâs inaugural ball in January. (Gorka denies having ever taken an oath of loyalty to the group.)
Gorka will join Fox as a ânational security strategist,â according to ThinkProgress, despite the fact that, without his controversial Fox News appearances, counterterrorism and national security experts told Politico that they wouldnât know who the hell he was:
âWhen I first encountered his name during the transition, I did a triple-take. Iâve been in counterterrorism since 1998, and I thought I knew everyone. But Iâd never heard his name and couldnât recall anything heâd written or said,â said Daniel Benjamin, who served as counterterrorism coordinator under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Really, Daniel? You couldnât even compliment Gorkaâs beautiful gowns?
It isnât Gorkaâs âexpertiseâ that Fox News seeks as much as his reliable, you-can-set-a-Third Reich-clock-to-it Islamophobic and xenophobic views.
Peep the résumé, courtesy of ThinkProgress:
White people and white supremacists are ânot the problemâ when it comes to terrorism.
The presidentâs silence about a mosque bombing was because the attack could have been faked by liberals.
The White House doesnât attack Islam and Muslims enough.
Sounds about white, which means itâs a perfect fit for Fox.
