Gorka out

Sebastian Gorka, accused by many as being a fascist or a sympathizer of Nazism, has left  the White House. It is a welcome news.
You may recall that a few days ago a pair of Democratic legislators - Jared Huffman and Barbara Lee submitted amendments to a government spending to cut off salaries for both Gorka and Miller for their kowtowing with white supremacy. Miller makes $179,700 annually as an assistant to the president and senior adviser for policy, while Gorka earns $155,000 as a deputy assistant to the president and strategist.
Miller previously worked as communications director for Attorney General Jeff Sessions while he was serving in the Senate. Gorka, meanwhile, was a former national security editor at Breitbart.
The legislators accused Miller and Gorka of encouraging white supremacists, citing Miller’s involvement in Trump’s travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries and Gorka's work at Breitbart.

"The removal of Steve Bannon is an important first step in rooting racism from the White House. But, Sebastian Gorka and Stephen Miller's continued presence in the West Wing ensure that Steve Bannon's sick ideology will persist in this Administration. Now is the time for Congress to take a clear stand against hate and refuse to authorize salaries of White House officials who embrace the views of white supremacists, white nationalists and Neo-Nazis,” Lee said in a statement.
Richard Spencer, a prominent white nationalist, told Vanity Fair that he mentored Miller while they were both at Duke University. But Miller has disputed that account and told Mother Jones in 2016 that “I completely repudiate his views, and his claims are 100 percent false.”
Gorka drew controversy for wearing a medal from a Hungarian order, Vitezi Rend, that was founded by an ally of Adolf Hitler. But he has said he wore the medal to honor his late father, who was awarded it for fighting communism.
