Gorka Explains Use of Term ‘Radical Islamic Terrorism’ to MSNBC: You Don’t Call Cancer the Flu

Dr. Sebastian Gorka, White House deputy advisor on national security, was questioned Tuesday on MSNBC about his insistence on the use of the term “radical Islamic terrorism.”

Sebastian Gorka Decimates MSNBC Over Term 'Radical Islamic Terrorism'

“I don’t understand how calling it by its name helps stop the attacks in Paris or in Belgium or in London,” MSNBC’s Ali Velshi said to Gorka.

"So If you, God forbid, caught cancer, and the hospital was forbidden from calling it cancer and said, 'you have the flu, go home and hydrate and some take aspirins,' would you actually have the right treatment?" Gorka asked.

"No, but there's still no cure for cancer," MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle replied.

"Have you not heard of chemo?" Gorka asked.

"I have heard of chemo, and cancer can still kill you, so it doesn't matter what you call it," Ruhle rejoined.

"Doesn't matter what you call it, really?” Gorka replied. “So if I call it the flu, and say go home and take some aspirin, what's going to happen?"

“There must be a better response to that, right?” Velshi said. “I asked you a very straightforward question.”

"I gave you a very simple answer," Gorka responded. "If you misdiagnose anything, whether it's a serious disease or international geopolitical threat, you will never solve it.”

“For the last eight years we had an administration that said oh it’s economic, oh these people are disenfranchised,” he added. “Look it’s not about economics, it’s not about being disenfranchised, it’s about people who have an ideology that is evil and has to be destroyed."

Velshi then asked about stopping "lone-wolf" attacks perpetrated by individuals rather than by groups like ISIS.

"There's no such thing as a lone wolf. You do know that?" Gorka responded. "That was a phrase invented by the last administration to make Americans stupid. There has never been — never been — a serious attack ... or a serious plot that was unconnected from ISIS or Al Qaeda, at least through the ideology and the TTPs — the tactics, the training, the techniques, and the procedures — that they supply through the internet. Never happened. It's bogus."

Gorka is Hungarian. His father suffered under communism and Gorka understands the global socialists,

He is their intellectual superior in every way and the perfect attack dog for Trump.

Kind of off topic. A few nights ago I found myself once more studying the history of what today is known as the Byzantine Empire, but was known throughout its history as the eastern Roman Empire. And I realized something:

Had Emperor Maurice not been assassinated in 602, there would have most likely been no war with the Persians. And each would have been sufficiently powerful enough to constrain Islam, which was just then being founded and led by Muhammad. If Maurice had lived, Islam might have forever been isolated to the deserts around Mecca and Medina. It would not have been sufficiently strong and driven to race across Northern Europe and into Spain and France, or go north toward Turkey and Armenia and Persia.

It also might mean that the Roman Empire as a reunited realm between its western and eastern halves could still be with us today.

Amazing how history can turn around just one individual.

He is awesome. Intelligent, humble, family man. Friends on Facebook and he actually responds to people. Could use more like him. Very loyal to the president.

Nothing more :P

I hope the President has Gorka’s back, or he’s next on the list for McMaster to toss out the door for using un-PC terms.

Having been brilliantly cornered, the typical groupspeak drone usually engages in the ‘tangent tactic’, in which as they have lost even the most minute trace of intelligence that can be detected, begin to rabidly produce copious amounts of completely substantiated foul-smelling drivel.

Absolutely correct; Islam = Terrorism. It exists on this Earth to steal, kill and destroy, completely satanic. Nothing less.

Mohammedanism is NOT a religion. It is a cult of hate, started by a camel-humping pedophile to justify rape, murder and thievery. Dietary laws, prophets and monotheism were all stolen from Jews and Christians.

The only way to challenge totalitarianism was by having the courage to call things by their real names. Political correctness is so dangerous because it is based on a lie and it promulgates itself by enforcing a lie on the rest of us. ~George Orwell

Dr Gorka became a Naturalized US Citizen in 2012.

He was born in Hammersmith, London on October 22, 1970 to Zsuzsa Biro and Pál (Paul) Gorka. They had fled to the United Kingdom from Hungary after the failed 1956 uprising.

Islam, when worshipping Satan just isn’t evil enough.

Yes, she goes on to talk about cancer isn’t cured? WTF? Did she miss his whole point or what? It is like responding to Christ on the mustard tree message and telling him you don’t like mustard. Clueless.

“it’s about people who have an ideology that is evil and has to be destroyed.”

It’s so nice to have grown ups in charge again.

I am a bit of history buff too and read some stuff on the Byzantine Empire. The saddest part was when the West sacked the capitol, forever weakening the Empire.

Islam is radical. It incorporates terrorism as a means to an end.

Thanks to Gorka, Trump went from using the term islam or muslims to the GW Bush approved pusillanimous parsing ‘radical islamic terrorism’

More politically correct bullsh!t
