Gorka said many in the media have refused to acknowledge that, despite calling the order a "Muslim ban", key countries like Saudi Arabia and Indonesia are not listed.

He called left-wing pundits in the media the "Ben Rhodes echo-box", a reference to former President Obama's advisor who once told the New York Times he created an ideological "echo chamber" in the press to the president's benefit.
