I think the viewpoint that Gorka brings (and yes, I think he is a completely self serving charlatan) is not just rooted in the Old World, James, it's very firmly rooted in the post WWI version of Mitteleuropa...

America First or Lebensraum? Go on, you choose ๐Ÿ™„

Sebastian Gorka: โ€œObviously heโ€™s not the expert he claims to be โ€” obviously,โ€ Hungarian newspaper editor Gabor Horvath told NBC News in 2017.

โ€œHe got his masterโ€™s degree and his PhD from the Corvinus University in Hungary. The Corvinus University is not a center for national security studies, certainly not internationally recognized studies of this kind,โ€ he added.

An op-ed inThe New York Times once referred to him as โ€œThe Islamophobic Huckster in the White House.โ€
