Former Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka on Monday published an editorial in The Hill in which he tried to discredit Michael Wolff, the author of the bestselling book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. However, Gorka seems to have inadvertently undermined President Donald Trumps claim that Wolff was not given wide access to the White House to report on his book.
When I met Michael Wolff in Reince Priebus office, where he was waiting to talk to Steve Bannon, and after I had been told to also speak to him for his book, my attitude was polite but firm: Thanks but no thanks,' writes Gorka. Our brief encounter reinforced my gut feeling that this oleaginous scribe had no interest in being fair and unbiased.
This statement contradicts Trumps insistence last week that he authorized Zero access to White House (actually turned him down many times) for author of phony book. After all, if Trump had turned down Wolffs request to report from the White House multiple times, why would Gorka have been instructed to talk with Wolff and why would Wolff have been allowed to hang out in former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus office?
The internet erupted in mockery at Gorka unwittingly confirming Wolffs own account of how he got access to the White House, while simultaneously kneecapping his former boss.

(20,996 posts)...I cannot stand listening to him and his dripping with arrogance accent.
On edit, my favorite of the tweets:
I know many have too soon declared the death of irony. But Sebastian Gorka just called *somebody else* a partisan self-promoter with credibility issues. So its dead now, right?
