This is a great example of how people are tricked into spreading fake news. All you need is a cloak of credibility and a headline that people WANT really BADLY to be true.
Then they’ll tweet away like idiots:
Yeah no, that’s not true. The article is from May, and it was a false report.
But idiots are retweeting it anyway, without clicking and without reading the article closely:
C’mon people.
If true, and Gorka's leaving, Kelly's doing a good job clearing a bunch of dangerous crazies from the WH…except 1. https://t.co/SoSTBQhlUH

Seriously. Does no one click the crap they push?!?!
Can everyone stop sharing the fucking AP report about Gorka being fired since it's from May kthanks

That’s kind of amazing.
The news of Gorka’s demise are greatly exaggerated.
Reports are that Gorka IS in trouble, but he’s not out yet. And he may stay foreverrr….
