Summary

Donald Trumpā€™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 Trumpā€™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 Trumpā€™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 ā€œdoctorā€ while happily giving him a reacharound.
