Sebastian Gorka: Hillary Clinton Allies Are Working From Within White House To Ruin Trump

Donald Trump is being undermined by White House insiders who would rather have worked for Hillary Clinton, according to former deputy assistant to the president Sebastian Gorka.

Gorka, who disputed reports he was asked to leave his role and insisted he resigned shortly after the departure of Steve Bannon, slammed West Wing insiders in an interview with Radio 4 on Sunday.

“Hopefully everybody who followed the campaign of Donald J Trump understood that he won against immense odds. Our victory was an insurgency that took over the behemoth that is the swamp that is the Washington administrative state. It was a hostile takeover. Right now the forces that are un-Trumpian are in ascendance. I put that in my letter to the president, but that will change,” Gorka told presenter Paddy O’Connell.

Sebastian Gorka appears on MSNBC on August 8. The White House deputy assistant proclaimed a recent series of hate crimes in the U.S. “fake.” screen grab

“There’s no conspiracy theory here and there’s no central leader. They are individuals who if you look at their career they clearly would have been very comfortable working for Hillary Clinton in her cabinet and as such they don’t really represent the victory of November 8,” he added.

Gorka, who once referred to the BBC as “fake news,” refused to name any individuals who he believed were not working towards the same goals as Trump and became agitated when pushed on what he would be doing to work for Trump outside of the White House.

The former Breitbart national security editor said he and Bannon would “be doing everything that is humanly possible to support the president and to bring back the agenda to the White House but doing so from the outside.”

Asked whether working from the outside included working outside of the democratic process, Gorka responded: “Of course not. What an absurd… Why on earth would you even posit that? That’s what the BBC has sunken to today?”

‘It’s about what is possible in a hostile takeover of establishment politics that doesn’t wish to represent the people,” he added when pushed on why it was not possible for the president’s agenda to be furthered from within the White House.

“It’s like Brexit… and that’s why people like the BBC didn’t see it coming,” he added.

Glennon marches Bears down the field

Mike Glennon is trying to hang onto the starting job in Chicago. No. 2 overall pick Mitchell Trubisky has been nipping at his heels all preseason, but Glennon put together a really nice drive to start Game 3, potentially securing for himself the top spot on the depth chart. 

Glennon completed 7 of 9 passes for 84 yards and a touchdown in staking the Bears to a 7-0 lead, repeatedly picking on rookie cornerback
Adoree’ Jackson
(Glennon was 5 of 5 throwing in Jackson’s direction) before finding
Dion Sims
wide open in the back of the end zone off play-action. 

After that drive, Glennon is now 20 of 27 for 173 yards, two touchdowns and an interception over the last two preseason games, a major improvement over his 2 of 8 for 20 yards and a pick-six performance in the preseason opener against the Broncos. The Bears clearly want Glennon to win the job and give Trubisky a chance to spend at least part of this season learning the position from the bench, and Glennon’s performance of late is much more encouraging than what Chicago saw early on. 

Cameron Meredith goes down

Bears wideout Cameron Meredith left the game at the end of the first quarter after suffering a gruesome knee injury. He caught a pass over the middle of the field and got sandwiched between two defenders, resulting in his knee bending in a way that knee are not supposed to bend. (Don’t watch the video below if you have a weak stomach.)

When the game returned from commercial, Meredith’s leg was in an air-cast and he was being carted off the field. The Bears quickly announced that he was done for the day, and it appears that he has a significant knee injury that could keep him out for a while, if not the entire season. 

It’s a big blow for the Bears, as Meredith was expected to work as one of their top two wide receivers this season. 

Taywan Taylor taking advantage

The Titans snatched up Western Kentucky wideout Taywan Taylor with their third-round pick in this year’s draft, and it has become clear throughout the preseason that they have plans for him with their first-team offense this season. 

Taylor was heavily involved with the starters during the Titans’ dress rehearsal against the Bears. He received two carries totaling seven yards and was the intended recipient of a reverse from Derrick Henry, but Henry got tackled before he could make the pitch to Taylor sweeping around in the other direction. 

Taylor also helped the Titans convert a third-and-31 (!!!) by catching a seam route, breaking three tackles at once, then dragging a couple more defenders for more yards at the end of the play. 

This all came after Taylor had four catches for 56 yards in the Titans’ preseason opener and three catches for 46 yards in their second game. He looks like a nice playmaker for an offense that could use a good a speedy complement to its exotic smashmouth running game. 

Previously in Week 3 of the preseason

On Saturday,
Tyrod Taylor
entered concussion protocol after taking a nasty hit to the back of his head in the Bills’ preseason game against the Ravens. Taylor lasted just two series.
John Brown
had a big night for the Cardinals, smoking the Falcons secondary for two TDs from
Carson Palmer
, while the Chargers dominated the meaningless Battle for L.A. Meanwhile, in Dallas,
Dak Prescott
looks immune to a sophomore slump, continuing his hot preseason by going 11 of 14 for 113 yards and tossing a TD to tight end 
Jason Witten
 in one half against the
Oakland Raiders
. On the opposite end of the spectrum,
Christian Hackenberg
looked not good for the Jets, serving up two pick-sixes to the Giants before giving way to
Bryce Petty
, who tossed two TDs. It was also a rough night for the Broncos, who saw
Paxton Lynch
(shoulder),  
Demaryius Thomas
 (groin), 
Zach Kerr
 (knee) and safety 
Will Parks
 (hip) leave the game against the
Green Bay Packers
with injuries. 

On Friday, in addition to the Patriots losing
Julian Edelman
to a knee injury, the Chiefs saw
Spencer Ware
with a serious-looking knee injury. Unlike with the Patriots receiver, Ware is expected to have avoided a torn ACL, but if his injury turns out to be just a knee sprain, it’s still possible he’ll be sidelined several weeks into the regular season, opening the door for
Kareem Hunt
. For more on those injuries as well as the performances of
Tom Brady
,
Russell Wilson
,
Eddie Lacy
,
Patrick Mahomes
and more, check out Friday’s daily roundup.

On Thursday, no one was able to grab hold of the Jaguars starting quarterback reins in an uneven performance for both
Chad Henne
and
Blake Bortles
,
Jay Cutler
second game with the Dolphins was also filled up and downs and
Carson Wentz
look great during his work with the first-team offense. You can read about those stories and everything else from Thursday’s action in our daily roundup.
