Sebastian Gorka is upset that a cartoon rat married a cartoon aardvark, and it has nothing to do with their cross-species relationship.

No, the former assistant to President Trump turned right-wing radio host has a problem that the two animals in question were both men. He's referring to how Arthur's perpetual teacher Mr. Ratburn married a male aardvark in a recent Arthur episode, and how it's all apparently part of a liberal plot to supplant American society.

Gorka's declaration of a "culture war" began with a Tuesday tweet about the episode, and continued Wednesday on his America First radio show. "The left from Robespierre to Trotsky to Marcuse to Alinsky to Clinton to Obama to today" has always maintained that "civil society doesn't exist, friendship doesn't exist, family doesn't exist — only permanent revolution," Gorka said Wednesday. That's exemplified in the new episode where "one of Arthur's teachers at school, a male teacher," gets "married to a fellow male rodent" in the new season, Gorka explains.
