“They expected us to dilute the verbiage. He said radical Islamic terrorism,” [Gorka] went on, pausing between words for emphasis. “Politico, did you hear it? New York Times, did you hear it? Washington Post, CNN did you hear it? The president is not backing down.”
Gorka was similarly strident in a Wednesday interview with NPR’s “Morning Edition,” calling the phrase “the clearest three words of his speech.”
“The enemy is radical jihadist terrorism and that has not changed and it will not change,” he said.
Uh, you just changed it yourself from one interview to the next!
Gorka, did you hear it?

Correction: The original version of this story incorrectly quoted Gorka 's response to the question of whether the Trump administration views Islam as the enemy. He did not agree that Islam was the enemy. We regret the error.
I haven’t had a chance to listen to the Morning Edition audio, but here’s this.
The quote in question comes from Sebastian Gorka, the deputy assistant to the president, in an interview on NPR’s “Morning Edition.” Asked by anchor Steve Inskeep whether Trump views Islam as a religion, Gorka berated Inskeep for even asking the question. “This is not a theological seminary. This is the White House. And we’re not going to get into theological debates,” Gorka said.
Gorka then seemed to dismiss the notion that Trump does think Islam is a religion. “We’re talking about national security and the totalitarian ideologies that drive the groups that threaten America,” he said.
Gorka belongs to a school of Islamophobes who have long cast Islam as totalitarian — as a political ideology, rather than a religion. The basic idea is that an insidious Muslim fifth column aims to subvert American democracy. Or, as Jerry Boykin, now executive vice president of the religious right advocacy group Family Research Council, said in 2010, Islam “is not just a religion” but “a totalitarian way of life.” Muslims, said Boykin, “are under an obligation to destroy our Constitution and replace it with sharia law.” This view is shared at the highest levels of the White House.

If the braindead press had listened to what he said instead of goo gooing over the fact that he wasn’t foaming at the mouth, they might have gotten that point last night.
Good grief.

Damning even the WH didn’t expect to receive their ass-licking. And that’s an expectation set right after calling them fake news and the enemy of the people and even banning them. Nevertheless media pundits can’t help themselves despite the content of the speech and voluntarily offer some blowjob to the “presidential” optics.
Just so… depressing.

It is depressing - I am depressed today too.
But it will pass. He will say or do something that will throw this whole tray of cupcakes upside down again.
Nothing has changed but the numbnuts who write about him.
This cheered me up when I read it earlier -

I think he could. He could look like Steve Miller’s twin. But it’s close.

Radical. Islamic. Terrorism. Nope, it does nothing for me.
Climate Change is a Hoax. Still can’t feel anything.
Lock her up. Damn, I’m still not feeling anything.
I inhaled deeply, held it, but it’s not doing anything for me. I think this reefer is defective.

I bet he does.
As I recall, we’re over there taking their oil, and they’re not here taking ours. Who’s the globalist?
The problem is not “radical Islamic terrorism” as much as it’s “idiotic European imperialism.”
Did Gorka remember to mention that you have to click your heels three times when you say it? Otherwise it won’t work…
