| When Democrats threatened to deport naturalized U.S. citizen Sebastian Gorka over phony allegations, the media yawned. But now they can’t stop talking President Trump's tweet that four Democrat members of Congress can “go back to where they came from.” https://t.co/FnCmLsiBSZ— The Federalist (@FDRLST) July 18, 2019 |
From that Federalist article:
| The media has gone absolutely wild over these tweets. CNN even hosted white nationalist Richard Spencer to weigh in on them in an attempt to associate Trump with his odious views.
Yet when Democrats spearheaded deportation efforts against former Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka, the media was silent. In 2017, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) asked the White House to hand over Gorka’s immigration paperwork to the House Judiciary Committee. Gorka is a British-born Hungarian-American who was naturalized in 2012, five years before Nadler attempted to use state power to intimidate him.
Nadler cited a hit piece written by The Forward attempted to link Gorka to far-right anti-Semitic groups in Hungary. The headline of the article read: "EXCLUSIVE: Nazi-Allied Group Claims Top Trump Aide Sebastian Gorka As Sworn Member."
However, as David Harsanyi at The Federalist points out, the author of this hit piece admitted that there is no solid evidence for its headline or even the smears against him as an anti-Semite. |
Matt Vespa writes an article titled, Enough Games, Democrats: We Know You Wanted to Deport Seb Gorka.
And for real, really real, legally real: Not just in a tweet.
| When Dick Durbin and Jerry Nadler began a formal citizenship inquiry to threaten Seb Gorka for his political views, I have to be honest that I don't remember the Twitter brigades freaking out about it. The great @davidharsanyi looked into attacks on his citizenship here. https://t.co/sTgsXUJPeq— Mollie (@MZHemingway) July 18, 2019 |
Nadler dared to weigh in (and I do mean weigh in), even though he'd actually initiated the steps to get someone forceably deported!
| Watching the President lie (again) to the American people, spreading racist and xenophobic propaganda against @Ilhan with the crowd being goaded into chants of “send her back” was both chilling and horrifying. There is no place for such racism in our public discourse. https://t.co/SHm3Svb8Mx— (((Rep. Nadler))) (@RepJerryNadler) July 18, 2019 |
And is CNN reporting on this context?
No, of course not.
They have more important news to report:
| CNN counted the seconds Trump remained silent during the "send her back" chant at NC rally last night. it's come to this, folks ... what a circus— Matt Vespa (@mVespa1) July 18, 2019 |
Deport Jeff Zucker.
Update: A commenter reminds me that CNN contributor Brian Karam yelled "Go home!" to Seb Gorka during the Rose Garden Rumble.
Will Brian Karam be fired? CNN says this is intolerable xenophobia and racism when Trump snipes "Go back home" on Twitter; can they explain why they tolerate it in their own employees?
Is Ilhan Omar being specially protected because of her race, or because of her Jew-hating, America-hating terrorist-sympathizing radical politics?
