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.

"After the Arrowcross putsch, the more than 200,000 strong Jewish community in Budapest, which had been untouched so far, came into direct, life-threatening danger when Adolf Eichmann, who directed the deportation of nearly half a million Jews living in the countryside, returned to Budapest on October 17th. In July, when Horthy stopped the deportations he was removed. Under Eichmann´s command, more than 60,000 Jews were forced on a merciless march westward, to Austria, where they were compelled to build fortifications. Approximately 70,000 Budapest Jews who managed to avoid deportation were forced into a ghetto. At the same time, some 30,000 Jews who possessed letters of protection from neutral countries were given places in safe houses. Thousands of others were robbed, executed and thrown into the Danube. The Arrowcross activists were on a murderous rage until the last minute, but the ghetto was saved like none other in Europe. "
