White House Hires a Nazi as Senior Advisor

Early in his presidency, Trump hired Sebastian Gorka as his Deputy Assistant, a high-level position. Gorka has strong ties to a far-right Hungarian group, Vitézi Rend, which collaborated with the Nazis. While Gorka has denied being a member, he wore the Vitézi Rend medal at Trump’s Inaugural Ball and formerly served as an advisor to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has his own documented history of antisemitism. Gorka also co-founded his own political party in Hungary with known antisemites.
