Dearest Wall Street Journal,
In. a recent post, my fellow blogger Digby recently posted an advertisement for an upcoming Turning Point USA boredom-a-thon. Among the listed speakers is one Sebastian Gorka who, as you can see, uses the title “Dr.” despite the fact he is not an MD but instead holds a PhD in political science.
I’m curious: Do you plan to publish any op-eds that sneer at Dr. Gorka’s pretense? Or are you too scared to do so because Dr. Gorka sports a Vitézi Rend medal — an organization whose members participated in the slaughter of Jews during Holocaust — and so you don’t know what kind of sick lunacy his pals are capable of? FYI:
Vitézi Rend was created by the Nazi-backed ruler of Hungary, and many of its members were involved in the slaughter of Jews during the Holocaust. Today, members of the Order fall under an immigration watch by the State Department on groups that have violated human rights. Gorka and his father were reported to have joined (Katharine says this is false). And in photographs, Gorka has been spotted sporting a Vitézi Rend medal that, he insisted, he wore only to honor his father.
Looking forward to your response.
Love,
t
It’s Happy Hollandaise time! If you’d like to help keep this old blog going for another year, you can do so here:
