Trump plans to appoint former aide Sebastian Gorka to the National Security Education Board

WASHINGTON – Former White House aide Sebastian Gorka will be appointed to be a member of the National Security Education Board, the White House announced Tuesday.

The board, that consists of 14 members, oversees the federal government’s National Security Education Program (NSEP). The NSEP was created in 1991 to promote skills in international affairs, and includes supervision for awarding fellowships and scholarships to students, as well as grants to institutions that address "the national need for experts in critical languages and regions."

Gorka served as deputy assistant and to the president for less than a year before leaving his position. He previously focused on national security.

Gorka is a former Breitbart contributor and currently hosts a conservative radio show. His comments and articles at Breitbart claiming Islam is an inherently violent religion drew widespread criticism. He was an early Trump supporter who became, and still is, a frequent Trump defender on cable news programs. During his time at the White House, he was targeted by critics for alleged ties to a Hungarian nationalist party. He is a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in the United Kingdom to Hungarian parents.

It's literally a matter of national security. Ideally, someone will have the paperwork for him to sign when he's stepped back from the Chief Justice. Gorka, Miller, Kushner, any Trump, Flynn if Trump does give him another job - they all have Russian or other authoritarian nation ties that can't be ignored. All could potentially sabotage the government.

I had him scheduled to fire EVERY Trump appointee or hire in the EPA, NOAA, NMFS, NASA, NWS, USFWS, and calling the Wall construction company and have them start tearing down the new wall that was just built on sensitive habitats on our southern border, and stand by to tear down more. And inviting EPA science veterans to re-apply for the jobs Trump took away and eliminated.

We just disagree on firing timing, that's all.
