On Saturday, a makeshift bomb was thrown through the window of a Minnesota mosque. Since that time, President Trump has tweeted about whatever the hell it is he tweets about these days (Hillary Clinton, maybe?). Not a peep about the terrible attack on American soil by someone trying to “terrorize” American citizens. Sebastian Gorka, best known for sporting Nazi-sympathizer paraphernalia and being married to a like-minded Islamophobe went on MSNBC’s Live with Velshi and Ruhle to discuss this strange silence.
Ruhle: Let's talk about different kind of partners, the mosque in Minneapolis that was attacked. We heard the governor calling it a terror attack over the weekend. Will the white house be commenting on it?
Gorka: When we have some kind of finalized investigation, absolutely. So, there's a great rule, all initial reports are false, you have to check them and find out who the perpetrators are. We have had a series of crimes, alleged hate crimes, committed by right wing individuals in the last six months that turned out to be propagated by the left. Let's allow the local authorities to provide their assessment and then the white house will make its comments.
Ruhle: But the president commented on an attack that toopgs in London a couple of months ago before we had additional information confirming exactly what happened.
Gorka: Well, sometimes an attack is unequivocally clear for what it is, when someone shouts as they are stabbing a police officer, it's pretty clear it's not a case of a mafia robbing the bank.
Ruhle: You think throwing a bomb into the mosque --
Gorka: The question of who does it, when people fake hate crimes in the last six months with some regularity, it's wise to find out what's going on before you make statements when they could turn out to be not who you are expecting.
Ruhle: You don't have to make a statement about who did it but you can make a public statement denouncing how terrible it would be to attack a building of worship.
Gorka: That's fine, I'm sure the president will do that.
Ruhle: Why do you think he hasn't? Not like in the last 48 hours the president hasn't tweeted. He tweeted about his base, about a U.S. Senator. He's tweeted by the failing "New York Times" and made no mention of the mosque and no mention of the three fallen Marines who lost their lives off the coast of Australia.
Gorka: I'm not going to give social media advice to a man who won the election in large part thanks to his understanding of social media; and to destroy the fake news industrial complex about who will win the last election. Hold your horses and count to ten and the president will do what he deems fit.
Fair enough. Why would Sebastian Gorka give any advice about internet related issues? This is the guy that was busted trying to edit his own Wikipedia page and melted down on Twitter when he had his intellectual ass handed to him. If this turns out to be some deranged anarchist Marxist, will it make the event less of an act of terror? Would it mean it didn’t happen?
This administration is filled with jokes. Racist, asshole, scam-artist jokes.
