Chuck Todd: Gorka a menace to other staff

Source: the hill

By John Bowden - 08/10/17 11:04 PM EDT

NBC host Chuck Todd ripped President Trump's top counter-terrorism adviser Dr. Sebastian Gorka on Thursday, calling the top aide a "menace" to other staff in the West Wing.

"This Seb Gorka guy, or doctor, I know some people have questioned his credentials," Todd said. "He appeared to contradict Rex Tillerson, I know the president loves how he goes after reporters and is sort of a pugilist," Todd said on "Meet The Press Daily", questioning how Gorka remains in his position.

"But is the guy a legitimate national security adviser to the president?" Todd asked. "Or is he just sort of this pugilist who goes on TV every now and then."

Politico's Eliana Johnson said that her reporting characterized him as a "Kellyanne Conway type," or someone who appears on TV but does not often offer concrete advice to the president.

Too much of him is fake. The Rolling Stone article ripped apart his credentials.

"But is the guy a legitimate national security adviser to the president, ....This Seb Gorka guy, or doctor, I know some people have questioned his credentials." - "My man", Shuck Todd.

Gee. If only there was some group or organization that, 'ya know, had the mission and staff to dig into that shit and tell the American public whether the deputy assistant to President for national security affairs actually has those credentials, instead of running stories about rescued puppies and kittens....
