Summary

Donald Trump’s appointment of far-right commentator Sebastian Gorka as deputy assistant to the president and senior director for counter-terrorism has sparked backlash.

Critics, including former Trump officials John Bolton and HR McMaster, have labeled Gorka unqualified and controversial, pointing to his brief tenure in Trump’s first term and his promotion of extreme policies.

Gorka has a history of inflammatory rhetoric, ties to far-right groups, and legal troubles, yet remains a polarizing figure in conservative circles.

The appointment has intensified concerns about Trump’s administration favoring ideological loyalty over expertise in key national security roles.

    Seems like donvict is trying to gin up as much ragebait as possible.

    All I know is - the dumbfucks that balked at calling Jill Biden a doctor will gladly call Gorka a “doctor” while happily giving him a reacharound.
