Ex-Trump Aide Sebastian Gorka May Get Role Atop Voice Of America: Report
The pro-Trump mouthpiece is being floated for a U.S. Agency for Global Media job, fanning concern that the White House aims to build a propaganda empire.
Controversial right-wing radio host and former Donald Trump aide Sebastian Gorka may take a leadership role in the taxpayer-funded agency that supervises the Voice of America, CNN reported, citing a well-placed source.
Gorka, a divisive figure who departed the Trump White House in 2017, has emerged as a candidate for a role atop the U.S. Agency for Global Media, according to the cable channel.
The installation of a stridently pro-Trump mouthpiece would further shake the leadership ranks of Voice of America, the U.S.-funded international news agency with a record of independent reporting, and inflame fears that the White House aims to mold it into a propaganda empire. HuffPost couldnt reach Gorka for comment.
Michael Pack, a conservative filmmaker and friend of former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, is taking over as head of the Agency for Global Media after the Senate finally succumbed to White House pressure to confirm him.
The Voice of Americas top two editors ― both veteran journalists appointed during the Obama administration ― resigned on Monday, citing Packs arrival.
As the Senate-confirmed CEO, he has the right to replace us with his own VOA leadership, VOA director Amanda Bennett and deputy Sandy Sugawara wrote to staff on Monday.

Serb Gorka is one of the dumbest motherfuckers in the world, and based on his education, he attended some of the shittiest institutions there are. Normally, someone gets their Doctorate in a different university than their Masters, but this guy is probably so fucking stupid, no other Doctorate program would accept him. And, as a side note, he was almost charged in Hungary for a firearms violation.

The Senate is profoundly undemocratic and should be burned to the ground, but since that will never happen...
Please talk with your flibberdigibbet non-voting acquaintances and GOTV.
