So he kicked Gorka to the curb. Good deal.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see. Since Kelly took over as chief of staff from Reince Priebus he&#8217;s managed to:<\/p>\n<p>Kick communications director Anthony &#8220;Mooch&#8221; Scaramucci out of the White House; usher uber-anti globalist Stephen K.

Kelly, of course, cannot control the president&#8217;s impulses, which run wild every morning when he awakes and grabs his cell phone to start firing off those tweets.<\/p>\n<p>Sebastian Gorka&#8217;s departure, though, is a welcome step as the retired Marine Corps general seeks to establish some semblance of sanity within the White House.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sebastian Gorka has been shown the White House door.
