\n.<\/p>\n

I pulled this out of one of my longer chyrons and metaphors<\/strong> posts, so you’ll find screen-grabs aplenty here. Laugh at Seb Gorka<\/strong> in a liberal way you may, but if you do, please hang in there for the life-story Seb Gorka<\/strong> tells at the end of this post. It’s where I firm up my respect for the man.<\/p>\n

**<\/p>\n

Special:<\/strong> let’s have a little fun with Seb Gorka<\/strong>, then hear his story:<\/p>\n

Chris Hayes: <\/strong><\/p>\n

The one and only Sebastian Gorka<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chris:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The one and only Sebastian Gorka, late of the Trump White House, still has the Art War mobilr<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is that Sun Tzu<\/strong>, or Picasso<\/strong>‘s Guernica<\/em>?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chris:<\/strong><\/p>\n

although after his speech today, the time on his parking meter is over<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chris:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What kind of jackbooted thug would ticket the Gorka??<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Enough fun. I have considerable sympathy for Seb Gorka<\/strong> because of the life-story he narrates in this clip<\/a> around 0.57, from which I’ll just post one or two sentences here:<\/p>\n

Russia, we have to remember, is run by a former KGB colonel. That’s the sort of person who would be torturing freedom-fighters like my father in the basement of the Headquarters of the KGB. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Seb Gorka:<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s the reality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His hatred of Russia is personal, tragic, and well-founded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
