Showing Original Post only (View all)Samantha Bee Lets The Air Out Of Gorka's Alpha Male Balloon [View all]
This was a thing of beauty. Of all the Fake experts that Trump imported from Breitbart, Gorka is easily the most ridiculous.
FFS, Donald! This guy got his PhD from a diploma mill university, can't speak Arabic, never lived in a Muslim country, and has a CV that is 95% fluff. Putting him in charge of counterterrorism is like appointing ORLY TAITZ as Solicitor General! She got her law degree by MAIL order, and so did this Hungarian version of Foghorn Leghorn.
(But I have to admit, 'Alpha Male' is an apt term to use here, since it was originally invented by anthropologists to describe the behavior of Chimpanzees.)

Exactly. It's a reference to both "victory" and the German von, usually associated with nobility.

Fascinating info on Liddy and the reading material going around in the Reagan White House. Thanks!

I don't doubt it either. We know he was an inveterate racist, so this would be but a small leap.
