During a BBC radio interview on Thursday, White House adviser Sebastian Gorka criticized Secretary of State Rex Tillerson for comments he made earlier in the week assuring Americans that nuclear war with North Korea was not an imminent possibility.

Gorka characterized Tillerson’s input on military matters as “nonsensical.”


“You should listen to the president; the idea that Secretary Tillerson is going to discuss military matters is simply nonsensical,” Gorka said. “It is the job of Secretary Mattis, the secretary of defense, to talk about the military options, and he has done so unequivocally. He said, ‘Woe betide anyone who militarily challenges the United States,’ and that is his portfolio. That is his mandate. Secretary Tillerson is the chief diplomat of the United States, and it is his portfolio to handle those issues.”

Another clueless pile a talking garbage who is completely clueless as to how government works. He seems to have forgotten the picture of President Obama and Sec. Clinton when the raid on bin Laden's compound. Idiots.

To distract from the Russian investigation.

5. Is there a woodshed at the WH?

Because there seem to be an awful lot of miscreants who could use a visit.

Hey, if you're going to act like a spoiled little brat, expect to be treated like a spoiled little brat.
