Sebastian Gorka likes to be called Dr. Gorka. He gets his way only in conservative media. – The Washington Post

Sebastian Gorka, a deputy assistant to President Trump, really, really likes to be called Dr. Gorka   a hang-up for which he was mocked last week by comedian Samantha Bee.

On Twitter, Gorka goes by Sebastian Gorka DrG. He put Dr. in his byline at Breitbart News, where he was the national security editor before joining Trump’s White House, and on his book, Defeating Jihad. Gorka, who has a PhD in political science from Corvinus University of Budapest, prefers to be identified as Dr. Gorka in news reports.

I remember in 1979 a delegation of female Rhodes Scholars visited Sir Edgar Williams, the late Warden of Rhodes House, to register their objection to being addressed as “Miss So-and-So” if they were unmarried, and as you couldn’t be a Rhodes if you were married, that included all of them. They wanted to be called “Ms. So-and-so.” “Don’t you address a man as ‘Mr.’?” they asked. “If he’s my plumber,” Sir Edgar is said to have replied.
