“If such misconduct is tolerated, Trump voters will have unknowingly elected President McMaster,” the Center for Security Policy President Frank Gaffney said in the statement.
The organization said McMaster was undermining President Trump’s policies on “virtually every important foreign and defense policy issue,” and they commented on his recent purge of staff members who support the president’s agenda while keeping “large numbers of Obama holdovers” at the National Security Council.
“No voter in this country – not one – elected H.R. McMaster to run U.S. foreign policy. Actually, the winner of the 2016 election was a man who opposed virtually every aspect of the McMaster agenda – and that of the president who made its architect a three-star general, Barack Obama,” Gaffney said.
“At every turn, the Army general has been insubordinate to his Commander-in-Chief. For example, he has openly opposed Mr. Trump on ‘radical Islamic terrorism,’ Syria, Qatar, Iran, Russia and the Muslim Brotherhood. Of late, McMaster has taken to purging Mr. Trump’s most loyal staff members,” he said.
McMaster last week fired Ezra Cohen-Watnik, the senior intelligence adviser at the NSC. The week before, he fired Derek Harvey, the NSC’s Middle East adviser. In July, he fired Rich Higgins, the director of strategic planning at the NSC.
All three men were brought on board by former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and were fired because they were part of the “nationalist” camp that supported the president, versus McMaster’s “globalist” camp, according to a former White House official.
The statement also noted that McMaster had personally granted former National Security Adviser Susan Rice continued access to top secret information...

Is drudge linking to anything on breitbart?
Everybody has an agenda, and some of the people who say they want to drain the swamp have been living in it and enjoying it for years.
I am posting an article from the Breitbart web site that is in the public domain, and you say I am getting “involved in a Washington Feud”? Are you joking?
So you believer anyone that reads a news article on a public web site is “getting involved” in the feud?
I am simply re-posting an article from a popular conservative website (Breitbart) to discus the article on Free Republic.
For the record, that’s NOT GETTING PERSONALLY INVOLVED in a Washington feud by re posting an article in the public domain.
My reference wasn't to posting the article.
It was to simply accepting what Gaffney says at face value.
He has an agenda. Everybody in Washington as an agenda. And it's worth pointing that out.
You know that people use articles as a starting point for attacks on whoever the target is.
Rather than address each poster, I thought of making a general statement and addressing it to the person who posted the article, assuming you might be more rational than people who just launch into attacks based on Gaffney's.
"You" doesn't always mean somebody is attacking you personally for what you did.
Sometimes it's a more general advisory about what the many "yous" out there might want to avoid doing.
Gaffney is being less than honest.
The NSA isn’t the top position at the National Security Council and doesn’t do the hiring and firing.
That power lies with the Executive Secretary & Chief of Staff which in this case is a retired 3 Star named Keith Kellogg.
The average reader won’t know this but Gaffney certainly does.
The fact that he joins the chorus claiming that McMaster fired somebody’s pets on the NSC staff is a red flag that Gaffney is up to no good because he knows the facts don’t support what he’s saying.
That Gaffney is a BFF of Hugh Hewitt tells me much about him.
“Actually, the winner of the 2016 election was a man who opposed virtually every aspect of the McMaster agenda – and that of the president who made its architect a three-star general, Barack Obama,” Gaffney said.
What’s funny is seeing them on opposite sides of this one.
Not especially happy finding Hewitt on my side but sometimes even a sleazebag RINO establishment hack can find a blind pig. Or an acorn. Whatever.
I followed McMaster’s career long before he ever was mentioned as a potential member of Trump’s staff. Read his book, heard hours of his speeches. I never once encountered this “McMaster agenda” that Gaffney says exists.
I know Gaffney is lying about McM firing his pets on the NSC- because as NSA, McMaster doesn’t do the hiring and firing. So I suspect Gaffney is being just as dishonest about this “McMaster agenda”.
And more than that, why would a neocon global interventionist like Gaffney oppose McMaster if he was indeed the opposite of America First Trump?
That's disquieting. Haven't paid attention to Hewitt in 10 years.
“Haven’t paid attention to Hewitt in 10 years. “
You are a wise one. I salute you.
McMaster is a muslim tool.
If Frank Gaffney wants him fired, I’ll have to re-think my position.
“Sometimes it’s a more general advisory about what the many “yous” out there might want to avoid doing. “
There you go again! THREATENING Freepers for posting articles from other web sites that are in the public domain.
I get you don’t like the article and thus you are attacking the messengers. How about try attacking the facts instead of the messenger?
NEWS FLASH... This is not the first negative article on Free Republic about McMaster.
I didn’t see it, but yes Drudge does from time to time post articles from Breitbart.
