CORRECTION TIME: Joe Scarborough, Ana Navarro and many others share old Sebastian Gorka story that says he was fired

Members of the blue-checkmark brigade are sharing an old AP story from May 1 titled, “Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka expected to leave White House, official says.”

Well, those officials were wrong back in May and it’s pretty careless of all these folks to share such an out-of-date article. Time for some corrections:

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

Seb Gorka is reportedly leaving the Trump administration, leaving unanswered questions we're fighting to answer 1/3 https://t.co/N08XdvjOJA

Dear @BBC–it would really be super to never see this non-factual non-expert extremist on your news program again. https://t.co/2aySPrDac7
