U HAVE 2 B REFERRING 2 THE AMERICAN judicial system. WHO TREATED THIS guy LIKE A NEWBORN INFANT. CONVICTED OF 34 FEDERAL FELONIES & WHEN SENTENCING DAY CAME they JUST DISREGARDED THE FEDERAL SENTENCING GUIDELINES & LET him WALK FREE. THAT'S WHERE THE BLAME LIES. EVERY 1 HAS THEIR OWN VISION DOE.

Well what do you know. There is a new way to spout stupid ass bullshit. Gorka needs to join the STFU gang.

Is this you?

In April 2021, Gorka was permanently banned from YouTube for repeatedly violating the company's policy on spreading misinformation related to the 2020 presidential election.

Sit down.

All the "we are already a fascist country. It can't get worse" people are in shambles.
