Oh give me a break with the Trump hyperbole. Can I ask for a source?

- leereeves 9y agoEvery reference to Nazis on that page is about his father's association with the Hungarian Historical Order of Vitéz. Apparently, that group worked with the Nazis during WW2, but "this Order granted Gorka's father, Paul Gorka, their title in 1979 in recognition of his resistance to the post-war Soviet occupation of Hungary". Do you have some reason to believe he or his father is (or was) a Nazi? There's no evidence of that on that Wikipedia page.

- leereeves 9y agoMilo Yiannopoulos is a white supremacist? I mean, he's a troll who is intentionally offensive, but either Slate doesn't know what they're talking about or they're lying. One thing he isn't is a white supremacist. And Seb Gorka? According to his Wikipedia page, his father, Paul Gorka, was awarded a medal by Vitézi Rend in 1979 "in recognition of his resistance to the post-war Soviet occupation of Hungary". Slate seems to consider that evidence that he's a Nazi.
