The Jewish American newspaper The Forward has reported that Trump’s chief counterterrorism adviser Sebastian Gorka publicly supported an anti-Semitic and racist paramilitary militia in 2007 while he served as a Hungarian politician. The militia, known as the Hungarian Guard, was later banned, after the European Court of Human Rights accused it of racism. The Forward report draws on a 2007 television interview in which Gorka expresses his support for the Hungarian Guard.
A previous investigation by The Forward revealed Gorka took a lifelong oath of loyalty to a Hungarian far-right, Nazi-allied group. Click here to see our interview with Forward editor Larry Cohler-Esses.
