Report: Trump Counterterrorism Aide Supported Racist Hungarian Paramilitary Militia
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
