And Michael Voris has the gall to speak in his favor after throwing numerous traditionalist journalists under the bus just days ago. He’s a piece of work.

Careful, Mikey, you might find yourself doing exactly what you continuously wag your finger about. Or you’ll apologize (again).

An attempt at triangulation? Perhaps his recent gratuitous attacks on respected Catholic writers have negatively impacted his market share.

Burke is not a dissenter at all.
