MAGA influencer Laura Loomer, who is known to have to ear of the president and has been called the Trump Whisperer, took to social media over the weekend to condemn Sebastian Gorka, who also serves as a deputy assistant to the president. Specifically, Loomer focused the official reportedly attending the grand opening for the US Embassy of Qatar in DC.
"I have watched the video posted by the [Qatar US embassy] for their grand opening, and this looks exactly like Gorka and his wife. Care to comment, Sebastian?" she wrote Saturday. "Gorka is the Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism. Why is the Senior Director for Counterterrorism attending parties in DC with the Qataris, the funders of the Muslim Brotherhood and HAMAS?"
Loomer continued, saying, "The leaders of HAMAS have been harbored in DOHA by the Qatari royal family. It was Qatar that protected HAMAS while they held US Citizens hostage in GAZA."

None of these people are on America's side.

God, I hate it when the president's ties overtake our government national security.

(212 posts)I wonder how all those white racists in Idaho that supported Trump feel about Qatar having a military base in Idaho? Will they accept them with Welcome Wagon Baskets?

(49,678 posts)Controversy has swirled around Sebastian Gorka, one of Trump's top counterterrorism advisers, ever since he attended the president's Jan. 20 Inaugural Ball wearing the honorary medal of Hungarian nationalist organization Vitezi Rend.
NBC News traveled to Hungary to dig deeper into Gorka's ties with the group, speaking with members of the organization as well as with locals who knew him when he lived there.
"When he appeared on U.S. television ... with the medal of the Vitez Order ... it made me really proud," Vitezi Rend spokesman Andras Horvath said in the Hungarian capital of Budapest. Vitezi Rend is also known as the Order of Vitez.
