"No one is quite sure what Sebastian Gorka, officially a deputy assistant to President Trump, actually does at the White House. This hasn’t 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]here’s 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.”

This White House really does have a white supremacy problem, and it has emboldened that group in ways that we could never have imagined just a few years ago.
Just yesterday trump supporter, Jeffrey Lord , was fired from CNN because he chose to use the words Seig Heil in a tweet. Jeffrey didn't deny that he sent the tweet, but instead, he chose to attack CNN for not protecting his 1st Amendment rights. (Racists sure like to try and hide behind the 1st Amendment.)
Anyway, who do you think was one of the first people to call Lord to sympathize with him being fired? If you said Steve Bannon move to the head of the class.
I think it's Mr. Banon who is advising trump not to call the members of that mosque that was torched in Minnesota, recently. Can you imagine if a Christian church was torched in a similar manner? President trump would be on television so much that our televisions would start showing everything in orange.
People might criticize trump for not recognizing how to unify the country, but he clearly doesn't want to do that at this time. He is playing to his base by doing the most racist things possible, and giving them reasons to love him even more.
So far it seems to be working.

It’s this constant, “Oh, it’s the white man. It’s the white supremacists. That’s the problem.” No, it isn’t, Maggie Haberman. Go to Sinjar. Go to the Middle East, and tell me what the real problem is today. Go to Manchester.Gorka noted that the Oklahoma City bombing was 22 years ago, which is true. But since 9/11, right-wing extremists — almost always white men and frequently white supremacists — have been far more deadly domestically than Muslim extremists. A study found that in the first 13.5 years after 9/11, Muslim extremists were responsible for 50 deaths in the United States. Meanwhile, “right-wing extremists averaged 337 attacks per year in the decade after 9/11, causing a total of 254 fatalities.”'
