Trump Unleashes London Boy to Hit Liberal Media (Sebastian Gorka)

The Briton who counts most in the eyes of President Donald Trump is not Theresa May, even if she was the first foreign leader he invited to the White House. It is not Nigel Farage, welcome though the former Ukip boss is whenever he passes through Washington or New York.

That accolade goes to Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to the president, whose booming baritone can often be heard not just in the West Wing, but on TV and radio as he gives no quarter to Trump’s media detractors, denouncing his critics as irredeemably biased purveyors of “fake news”.

A naturalised American, Gorka, 46, was born in west London and maintains his British citizenship as well as that of Hungary, where his father was once imprisoned and tortured by the Communists after a courier smuggling coded reports to the West was betrayed by the MI6 double agent Kim Philby and gave up his name under duress.

Gorka is often the public face of the Trump administration, arguing the president’s case with a bravado that has delighted the commander-in-chief, a connoisseur of cable television who consumes news more voraciously than perhaps any previous president, even as he condemns much of it.

An imposing 6ft 3in hulk of a man with a neatly trimmed beard, Gorka delights in being part of a new breed of “alpha males” who have grasped the reins of government after what he views as the effeteness of the Obama years.

Thanks, a very “to the point” description of him.

A great anti-jihadists who knows where the bodies are buried on every continent. The Muslim Brotherhood want him out, and he is the perfect example of a patriot who would have never seen the light of day in the Obama Administration. He speaks truth to power.
