Sebastian Gorka Stonewalls On Forward’s ‘Nazi Ally’ Scoop

Nathan Guttman

By Nathan Guttman March 16, 2017

President Trump’s top counterterrorism adviser Sebastian Gorka is stonewalling questions regarding the Forward expose detailing his membership in a Hungarian Nazi-affiliated organization.

“Send a request to White House press,” Gorka told BuzzFeed News, refusing to respond to the specifics of the report, which quoted two senior leaders in the Vitézi Rend organization, whose members “are presumed to be inadmissible” to the United States, according to the State Department.

The White House press office did not respond to the Forward’s requests for comment.
