Sebastian Gorka is bad for the Jews. And America.
http://religionnews.com/2017/03/19/sebastian-gorka-is-bad-for-the-jews-and-america/Sebastian Gorka, President Trump’s top counter-terrorism adviser, is a member of a Hungarian far-right group that is listed by the U.S. State Department as having been “under the direction of the Nazi Government of Germany” during World War II.
The elite order, known as the Vitézi Rend, was established by Admiral Miklos Horthy, a staunch Hungarian nationalist. He was a self-confessed anti-Semite and Nazi collaborator, who deported hundreds of thousands of Jews into Nazi hands.
Last month, journalists noticed that Gorka has worn a medal affiliated with the group on multiple occasions, and that he has further ties to anti-Semitic groups in Hungary. Gorka said he wears the medal as a tribute to his father.
Three Democratic senators have called for an investigation into whether Gorka, who was born in the United Kingdom, “falsified his naturalization application or otherwise illegally procured his citizenship” by failing to disclose his membership in the banned Hungarian group.
