Did anyone else just see Chris Cuomo take on Sebastian Gorka??

It was amazing. Gorka was arguing that Trump's tweets aren't presidential communications because it's social media. Gorka came off as being the chief whackjob and made the gang that couldn't shoot straight even more frightening. I hope they replay the segment.

I loved it when he said that this White House didn't leak.

He walked into that one, and Cuomo hit it out of the park.

Everytime Cuomo nailed him on something, Gorka popped up with some completely unrelated bullshit because he could give a cogent answer about Trump's tweets; and he's supposed to be one of the 'smart' guys?

I'm afraid the whole day is going to be filled with more of Trump's slippery weasels ducking and dodging questions and handing out alternate facts like candy to explain what we really aren't seeing with our lyin' eyes.

I'm not certain exactly why, but Gorka frightens me way more than most of Trump's spokespeople.

While he and staff have exploited his tweets to spread his lies and right wing slant, they know his tweets can be too revealing and potentially damaging, hence Kellyanne Conway is also promoting the idea that tweets shouldn't be taken so literally.

WTF is with the goddamned "news" media here?

They've featured and lionized a goddamned Nazi *and* PUTIN in the past 2 days.

They're trying to NORMALIZE fascism.

Oh HELL no.

Gorka was just shy of saying "I know you are but what am I?"
