Report: High-ranking Trump official has extensive ties to European neo-fascists
Sebastian Gorka reportedly co-founded a new party with prominent anti-Semites.

A deputy assistant to President Donald Trump has spent years working closely with members of Hungary’s anti-Semitic hard right, according to a Friday report from The Forward, a publication for American Jews. The report says Sebastian Gorka, who advises the White House on national security, co-founded a political party with former members of Jobbik, which is frequently described as a fascist party.

Although Jobbik has tried to soften its image in recent years, party leaders have called for a registry of all Jewish government officials and indulged in nostalgia for the reign of Regent Miklós Horthy, a Nazi collaborator. The Forward reports Magyar Jelen, the official paper of the 64 Counties Movement, has said that Hungarians “need to take back our country” from the Jews, who are “sucking on our blood, getting rich off our blood.”

1. I will be using this to attack a few local Republicans. Peter King and Lee Zeldin

[mwooldri]

12. If you're talking about Rep Peter King (NY)

... he's already in my eyes a huge hypocrite. Raising money for the IRA, who tried to assassinate Margaret Thatcher. And now he's on the Homeland Security Committee.

2. Sebastian Gorka is another fascist grifter. He fits right in.

[anneboleyn]

15. Yep, he calls himself an "expert" on the Middle East and security but does not speak Arabic

(or read it), and yeah he managed to dupe ding-dongs into hiring him for his so-called expertise. Why am I totally not surprised to learn of his fascist tendencies? Every single moron Steve Bannon hires for his weird, sad little Hitler revival fits the same mold.

3. This story needs more prominence--re-post lavishly, please.

And send it to your local synagogues.

[workinclasszero]

8. Yes please do

The fact that a fascist Jew hater is in 45's inner circle needs to be known.

Well two counting Bannon.

[Ilsa]

4. Surprise! Surprise!

Not really.
We need to go through the list of everyone 45 and pres. Bannon have brought in. I doubt it stops here, just like we have all LE agencies infiltrated by kkk, neonazis, and fascists.

13. In other news: Water is wet, the sky is blue, grass is green!

Who woulda thunk it possible? that a Jew-hating, neo-fascist thug would be found in a Jew-hating, neo-fascist thug administration?

[mountain grammy]

5. a fascist administration is in the White House.

[workinclasszero]

10. It can't be denied anymore

And the republican party is looking the other way of course.

6. at this point it might be easier to name those that aren't white supremacists

He has filled the place with white supremacists. It's like the freaking Aryan brotherhood is running the country

[dalton99a]

11. Indeed.

[paleotn]

7. Not a bit surprised....

But lucky for us, the founders constitutionally distributed centers of power throughout our government, the press and the citizenry. The fascists are learning the hard way that controlling all those centers is more difficult than herding cats and you don't control jack shit unless you control virtually all of them. It was meant to be that way for that specific purpose. Smart people, the founders. We owe them much despite their faults.
