Former White House aide and Breitbart editor Sebastian Gorka blasted the animated PBS series Arthur after it featured a wedding between two male characters, calling it a war for our culture.
Did you have any questions about there being a culture war, ladies and gentlemen? Did you have any doubt in your mind? This is a war for our culture, Gorka said during his radio show, America First.
In the shows 22nd season premiere, Arthurs third grade teacher, Mr. Ratburn, comes out as gay and gets married to a local chocolatier.
Yup, its a brand new world, one character says in response to the marriage.
During his show, Gorka, a former Trump adviser, complained that the fictional union is the latest example of left-wing ideology.
That's been the left from Robespierre to Trotsky to Marcuse to Alinsky to Clinton to Obama to today, he said. Civil society doesn't exist, friendship doesn't exist, family doesn't exist only permanent revolution.

I love Arthur. Great kids programming. I can't fathom why Gorka was watching, unless he is required to view it to learn to be a better person instead of the asshole he is.
