In reply to Breitbart is going all out

for those refusing to click on Breitbart, here is Gorka listing who "the West Wing Democrats" are, what they are doing, and who are the main enablers:

The “West Wing Democrats,” as they are colloquially known, include people like the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, his wife the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump, National Security Adviser three-star Army Gen. H.R. McMaster, National Economic Council director Gary Cohn, new White House chief of staff retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, and Deputy National Security Adviser Dina Habib Powell. Powell served with Cohn in a senior position at Goldman Sachs before going to work in the White House. All of them are Democrats, though Powell claims to be a Republican given her short time working in George W. Bush’s White House.

Each of them are engaged, as Breitbart News and virtually everyone else has detailed, in a deep effort to stop the president from implementing the agenda he campaigned on in 2016. They view their roles as forces of moderation, trying to stop President Trump from doing what he promised for the American people in his landslide electoral college victory in 2016 over Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton. And they align with forces in the “opposition party” media—or as has Gorka has defined it previously, the “Fake News Industrial Complex”—as well as throughout the political class in Washington to achieve their objective. Leaks about their self-righteous opposition to Trump ideas, actions, and policies—like his response to Charlottesville, or his Sheriff Joe Arpaio pardon, or the way he has handled various crises—are all about using their influence to slow him down. They also work with people like House Speaker Paul Ryan—a demonstrably anti-Trump force in Congress—as well as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and others, to hold the president back.

Essentially, what each of these folks is doing is using their positions of power to protect the status quo in Washington [....]

On Values, Trump ‘Speaks for Himself,’ Tillerson Says

Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson, appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” seemed to separate himself from the president on his equivocal response to the Charlottesville violence.

Breitbart is going all out batshit crazed war with the Gorka thing. This was their headline story last night:

EXCLUSIVE–‘Like the

Last Scene of Star

Wars’: Sebastian Gorka

Compares Battle Against Globalist Cabal

to Rebel Alliance

Fighting Evil Empire

By Matthew Boyle, Aug. 26

Dr. Sebastian Gorka, a now former Deputy Assistant to President Donald J. Trump, says that the West Wing Democrats, the left, and the Fake News Industrial Complex will never succeed in stopping him and others from battling for the president’s agenda.

During an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM Patriot Channel 125,

Gorka—a former Breitbart News national security editor who served in the White House in a senior position pushing the president’s message—compared former White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon leaving the White House to when Darth Vader struck down Obi Wan Kenobi in Star Wars.

“We are winning and we will continue to do so,” Gorka said. “With Steve back at the helm, it’s like the last scene from Star Wars. Do you remember what Obi Wan Kenobi said to Darth [Vader]? ‘If you strike me down, I will be more powerful than you can ever imagine.’ The left thinks they’re winning. They have no idea what’s coming around the corner, and it’s going to be fun, Matt. You know it.” [....]

In reply to More! Confirming he fired

Only Maggie @ NYT appears to have gotten this mysterious White House message that Gorka was fired. WaPo has that he resigned the last I looked.

I just looked at Breitbart and they are, of course, bold headlining the Gorka "resigned" story over everything else, like this:

Sebastian Gorka Resigns from Trump Administration

‘forces that do not support the MAGA promise are – for now – ascendant within the White House’

Dr. Sebastian Gorka, who has served as deputy assistant
to President Donald Trump since January,
resigned from the White House administration on Friday evening.

And I am not ready to be 100% dismissive of their spin on it without thinking through everything that happened through the day and evening politicallly. Too much to analyze well. Most probably just once again trying to analyze a narcississtic nut case, but you can't be sure.

In reply to Washington Post: The Fix:

He's still in charge of emergency teams at Camp David this important Texas weekend - helping the KKK iron its sheets, tweeting new racist diatribes in Hungarian inflected anti-semitism, learning how to say "go fuck yourselves" in his Spanish class while burnishing his masonry skills for that new Wall... Heckuva job, Whitey.

Good time to wonder if Russians hacked machines in Hispanic districts or if there were really that many stupid people to give a flagrant anti-Hispanic their vote.
