Gorka: We Were Told To Interview For Wolff’s Book

January 8, 2018 Idiocracy, Infighting Is Funny

“Unless we had a preexisting relationship, I didn’t trust any journalist. And if you came from an outlet that belonged to what President Trump calls #FakeNews, I really wasn’t interested in becoming your friend. To those few persistent journalists from news organs like the Washington Post who wouldn’t give up, I was upfront: Sorry, I don’t do ‘deep background’ and I’m using my phone to record this conversation.

“As a result, you’d never see Jim Acosta coming out of my office or Maggie Haberman buying me an espresso at Peet’s around the corner from the West Wing.  So, 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.’

“Our brief encounter reinforced my gut feeling that this oleaginous scribe had no interest in being fair and unbiased.” – Former Trump senior advisor Sebastian Gorka, admitting that White House insiders had been instructed to participate in Wolff’s book.
