SEBASTIAN GORKA/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Sebastian Gorka, a former adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump who quit after top White House political strategist Steve Bannon was ousted, has joined a nationalist pro-Trump campaign organization, the group announced on Tuesday [9-19-17].
The MAGA Coalition, dedicated to helping advance Trump’s ‘America First’ principles, said it had hired Gorka as ‘Chief Strategist.’ MAGA is headed by Adam Gingrich, a Pennsylvania political operative who backed Trump’s presidential campaign…
Gorka has been an outspoken advocate of tough U.S. anti-terrorism policies and in the past asserted that U.S. efforts to counter Islamic State and other jihadist propaganda were ‘pin-pricks and often counter-productive’…
While at the White House, Gorka regularly appeared on cable news shows to promote Trump’s policies. But intelligence professionals and diplomats viewed him as an ideologue who lacked real-world experience.
In late August, the conservative Federalist website published a letter from Gorka saying he was resigning from the Trump Administration. But a White House official said in a statement: ‘Sebastian Gorka did not resign, but I can confirm he no longer works at the White House.’ “
