‘How Do You Make it Look So Easy?’ Watch Seb Gorka Absolutely Gush Over Trump’s Gaffe Machine Legal Spox Alina Habba – Mediaite
Newsmax host Sebastian Gorka, filling in for Greg Kelly on Wednesday, absolutely fawned over Alina Habba — the legal spokesperson for former President Donald Trump.
After playing a clip of Habba dressing down the press in Washington a few months ago, Gorka welcomed Habba on to the show and served up an enormous softball to kick off his interview.
“What kind of training have you had?” Gorka asked. “Because you make it look just so easy! You walk up to the insane lying press and you just … you just have no podium, no teleprompter, and you just crush them! How do you make it look so easy, Alina?”
“Patriotism,” Habba replied. “I think it’s the same thing that you suffer from, right? We love our country. And I haven’t had any training. PR is not my thing. I’m a lawyer. But I’m passionate about the president getting back to business and cleaning up our country. And when you have passion for anything and you have the facts on your side, I think it’s relatively easy to speak from the heart and to speak honestly and eloquently.”
Habba has gotten much criticism for a series of gaffes while speaking on behalf of the former president. In early December, Habba pledged that Trump would testify in his New York fraud trial just days before he bailed.
“People that are afraid cower, President Trump doesn’t cower,” Habba said — four days before Trump cowered.
Habba was shredded by legal experts for a comment she made in late August — in which she seemed to directly contradict the arguments of other Trump attorneys seeking to delay Trump’s various court cases because he needs time to prepare for them.
“What is he going to have to be prepped for? The truth?” Habba told Fox News on Aug. 27. “You don’t have to prep much when you’ve done nothing wrong.”
And in a June interview, Fox News anchor Shannon Bream busted a claim from Habba in real time that the photo of a box taken during the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago merely contained “pictures” and “mementos” – forcing Habba to backpedal right on the spot.
But Gorka, nonetheless, remains a big fan. He lauded Habba for saying “patriotism” is what makes her an effective spokesperson.
“I’m happy to suffer very seriously from the disease of patriotism,” Gorka said.
