Is this the same Seb Gorka who called himself "Doctor" and the magabrained never said anything, then went on to have fainting spells when Jill Biden was called "Doctor"?

Newsmax doesn't even hire people, let alone a "personality".
Despite my general pacifism, I think this sort of person is best judged by the theoretical punch-ability of their face. Gorka is "I'm gonna need a baseball bat" level.
The good news is that not even the Trumpkins like him.
You ever seen someone who just wants to scream the N word? I can feel the n word circling his body like it's a pee just pushing at the ancient prostate you know?
Our nation is backsliding at supersonic speed. We need more bre..er, brakes
“Colored” fkn lol. Big Kramer energy.
Fuck racists.
We're supposed to give a shit what racist Count Olaf from Lemony Snicket's thinks!?
Right right so DEI just means "anyone not white, male and cishet".
I've never seen cishet written before and I'm here trying to pronounce it... Maybe it's pronounced "cishay" like French? I figured it out in the end.
cis-het
and "cis" is pronounced with a soft c, so "sis", not "kis"
Pretty sure it's sashay because it's French and it drives people nuts on multiple levels /s
He may be wrong in his motives and his word choice but he's right that the fact that she's black and a woman was just as important as her credentials when she was picked as the VP candidate in 2020. If you don't believe that just go read the post primary articles from that year talking about how Biden needed to pick someone not white as his running mate to pull in minority votes. Obviously this doesn't mean she isn't also qualified but you're kidding yourself if you don't acknowledge the reality that her skin color and gender were both primary factors in her selection. I'm not sure why that's so difficult for people to say out loud.
Because without context it comes across as racist.
Which is exactly what these people are being when they are saying that she is a diversity hire. Basically that she was only hired because she is black/indian, and a woman, not because she is qualified.
He's definitely saying it for racist reasons it just seems odd to me that people usually push back on that by saying race had nothing to do with it. It obviously did it's just not the only factor like he's saying it is.
Well there are idiots in this world. So I'm sure there are some idiots saying things like this. But most people also understand that she was qualified for the position.
Republicans worship the concept of meritocracy as long as the discussion is only about white people and not about billionaires or minorities...
Gorka much prefers nepotistic hires, like the kind you find in the governments of China, Russia and Trump's cabinet.
Colored
And somehow I’m not surprised that a crusty old racist just straight up used a Jim Crow era descriptor to refer to the VPOTUS..
What kind of non-Aryan name is Gorka? I don't think that this guy is white enough in name, and certainly not in looks, to start popping off on ethnicity and race.
It's Polish. So definitely white, but not one of the good white places (to them).
Tell him he's a gypsy DEI.
Thought he looked more like a goblin or maybe a vampire from dusk till down
As a Hungarian, he'll be more offended at being called gypsy
He looks more and more like a Dick Tracy villain every time I see a picture of him.
Flattop?
