Looks like there isnā€™t a Hungarian word for ā€œfactsā€.

I suppose Obama might have purveyed a small amount of spin in his career, in the sense of shading things in a way a particular audience might be more receptive to. But he wasnā€™t much of a purveyor of out-and-out pandering to raw, ignorant, panicked, hateful prejudice, or a purveyor of blatantly unconstitutional and pointless non-solutions to problems that were already being dealt with in the best way law-abiding and highly skilled professionals could devise. So the general answer to the illogical question is ā€œno.ā€

This was the journalistic equivalent of hitting Gorka in the face with a cream pie and while heā€™s trying to pull the cherry out of his nose, snipping off his tie.

I thought they sent Gorka back to VitƩzi Rend, aka Hitler Hair Club for Hungarian Racial Purity Fetishists.

ā€œAnd while I like that you must get away from President Trump and his policies as quickly as possible, and go to the bromide of blame Obama for everything, . . . " Great line, Chris (especially the word bromide). If only members of the media had been so forthright before the election. (and comments are still not available on most articles here at TPM)

It would be more accurate to say that Gorka and facts are complete strangers.

Oh, Iā€™m glad you posted this. I happened to catch this ā€˜interviewā€™ this morning.
Cuomo was about as good as one could expect interviewing a void like Gorka.
But, and this is why Iā€™m glad TPM posted, how far has Trumpā€™s West Wing devolved with the interoffice chaos that musty, cave-fish pale Gorka is unearthed and propped-up before the morning news cameras???

ā€œYour order is about Muslims, about targeting Muslims and keeping them out, and allowing those who are not Muslims or hail from countries where the president and his family own businesses a carve-out to come in,ā€ Cuomo said.

Fixed it for you, Chris.

They did. He bussed tables for half a show before he was fired for creeping out the customers and scaring the horses.

Goodness, perhaps the orb shorted out or something, but Trumpā€™s good friends the Saudis seem to have crapped all over our personnel on a major airbaseā€¦

Itā€™s like watching a slow moving trainwreck. I wish to hell it would speed up, say this coming Thursday?
