In an interview with the BBC earlier today, White House deputy advisor Seb Gorka seemed to completely undermine Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on North Korea, claiming that it was “simply nonsensical” for Tillerson to speak on military matters.

As one would imagine, Gorka’s comments created a bit of a stir. The State Department pushed back, stating that Tillerson “carries a big stick.” And, during an interview on Fox News this afternoon, host Liz Claman pressed Gorka to explain his remarks, leading to a pretty uncomfortable few minutes for the ex-Breitbart editor.

Video at link. Definitely an attempted hit job on Gorka by Fox interviewer, Liz Claman. Alluding to and, possibly, mischaracterizing an audio interview Gorka had with the BBC that she said is available, but apparently did not have it for backup. Short of knowing more specifics and lacking context, one could rightfully conclude that it was inteneded to sow discord in the Trump administration. it's worth the time to watch the video.

Fox radio news was using the MSM talking points du jour with an obvious bias today.

Fox trying to oust Gorka is really troublesome.

Tillerson (the rainbow boy scout, global warming guru) equals Deep State. Gorka equals MAGA.

Just watched the video and Gorky handled himself superbly. It is sad to see Fox News yoking itself with the Washington Post to jointly pull the globalists’ Fake News Deep State wagon. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Liz Claman must be fairly dense. Gorka set the record straight, then she came out “You frontstabbed” Tillerson, completely ignoring the fact that the story was mis-reported.

Have no fear, Mr. Gorka will put the fake news twisters in their place and make them look like fools in the process.

Mssr. gorka is correct. The State Dept., no matter the cranial capacity of the installed Sec’y of State, has no business stating military matters. The State Dept. does not enforce the American will by bayonet, but by voice and pen, alone.

He chewed her up and spit her back out and nailed the liar who made the claims for their false news.

Watch the clip, she did not want to admit it but he did not back down and stuck it to her.

I think Gorka is a great spokesperson for Trump. I heard all of it and think he handled it perfectly.
This is another Nothing Burger.

Just watched the video. Gorka is an excellent defender of Trump.
Loved him on Fox, but am really grateful he is now part of Trump’s administration!

I do-not-like-her. I think she thinks she’s the greatest and most intelligent person in the room. She grates on my last nerve!
