Sebastian Gorka called climate change activist Greta Thunberg, who turned 17 this week, “thunder thighs” on his radio show.
The former White House adviser was speaking to writer Andrew Klavan on his radio show America First with Sebastian Gorka about Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann, who agreed to a settlement with CNN after the network disparaged him in January 2019. The conversation then turned to the Swedish teenager.
“You know, these are people who will defend Greta Thuns — whatever her name,” responded Klavan. “What is her name? Greta Thunberg?”
Gorka scoffed: “Thunder thighs.”
Thunberg has been embroiled in several verbal spats with celebrities and politicians since gaining worldwide fame for her climate change activism. She stared down President Trump at a 2019 United Nations summit on religious freedom and said she didn’t care about Meat Loaf after the singer called her “brainwashed.”
British-born Gorka, 49, resigned from the Trump administration in 2017. He and his wife Katharine, a former Department of Homeland Security official, have a daughter, Julia, 22, and a son, Paul, a Stanford undergraduate. Thunberg came in second place for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize award, edged out by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
