One of Trump's advisers goes around wearing aNazi collaborator medal

Sebatian Gorka is the deputy assistant to President Trump. He’s a rabid anti-Islamic presence in the world. As Mic explains:

Gorka, who is of Hungarian descent, was a professor and Breitbart's national security editor before joining the Trump team. A regular fixture on Fox News, he also has ties to the anti-Muslim right. Gorka was arrested in early 2016 for trying to take a gun through airport security (charges were dropped after six months of good behavior as part of a plea deal).

He recently suggested the Trump administration uses — and will continue to use — the term "fake news" to describe media outlets that are critical of the president.

Last week, Gorka was the talking face brought out to push propaganda after Trump chose not to mention Jews or the Holocaust during his Holocaust Remembrance Day speech.

Gorka replied by calling criticism of the statement "asinine," arguing that it was motivated by the media's desire to attack Trump.

"It's a Holocaust remembrance statement," Gorka said. "No, I'm not going to admit it. Because it's asinine. It's absurd. You're making a statement about the Holocaust. Of course it's about the Holocaust because that's what the statement's about. It's only reasonable to twist it if your objective is to attack the President."

(peeResident) Donald Trump’s new Deputy Assistant, Sebastian Gorka is just another administration member living in a world of “alternative facts.” Gorka, who is both a contributor for Breitbart as well as a “self-proclaimed expert” on so-called “radical Islam” has maintained for years that he was an “expert witness” in the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the accused Boston Marathon bomber.

Fusion reports that based on the account of an official in the office of the U.S. Attorney in Massachusetts, “Gorka never testified at the trial and prosecutors didn’t rely on his expertise in preparing or presenting their case.”

Gorka’s personal website, The Gorka Briefing, which has since been taken offline, used to have a section dedicated to his role as an “expert witness” in the Tsarnaev trial. Based on an archive of his website, Gorka claimed to be an expert witness in the case, for instance in an “Analysis of the Tsarnaev Verdict,” in which he claimed to be an expert in a XM/Sirius Patriot interview.
