Sebastian Gorka’s Back With A New Title At Fox News
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Despite his two recent Fox News controversies, former White House official Sebastian Gorka blithely returned to the station Tuesday night.
Gorka, the controversial ex-aide to President Donald Trump and former national security adviser to Steve Bannon, resumed his role as a frequent guest on The Sean Hannity Show. Hannity didn’t question the phony, homemade Fox News business cards Gorka was caught handing out. The stationery included his personal email address, cell phone number and an outdated Fox News logo. It reads: “Sebastian Gorka Ph.D.”
It also wasn’t mentioned that Gorka was banned by Fox News’ “hard news” shows, which prides itself on traditional journalism that doesn’t echo the pro-Trump rhetoric on its opinion programs, like Hannity’s.
The Forward’s investigation of Gorka, which revealed his ties to far right wing groups in his native Hungary, won several awards, including from the Society of Professional Journalists.
