Här en intervju med Stephen Sackur på Hard Talk BBC
Jag tycker han försvarar Vita Huset bra i denna intervju. Meningen med Hard Talk på BBC är ju att det skall vara tuffa intervjuer.
Gorkas position i Vita Huset är att han är en av viceassistenterna/deputy assistents till Donald Trump.
Här om hans syn på Islam.
Vissa har spekulerat att han också kommer att få gå som Stephen Bannon.
Här flera inslag på mainstreamedia med Sebastian Gorka

Views on Islam
Gorka's view on Islam and radicalization have drawn controversy.[52][53] Gorka sees Islamic terrorism as essentially ideologically motivated and rooted in a totalitarian religious mindset. In his view, violence is a "fundamental" part of Islam, and he rejects other scholars' assessments that Islamic militancy stems primarily from poverty, poor governance, and war.[52] He vigorously backs President Trump's executive order which temporarily banned immigration to the United States from seven predominantly Muslim countries, and Trump's usage of the phrase "radical Islamic terrorism."[3][54][55]
According to Washington Post reporter Greg Jaffe, "Most counterterrorism experts dismiss Gorka's ideas as a dangerous oversimplification that could alienate Muslim allies and boost support for terrorist groups ... Religious scholars are equally withering."[3]
Additionally, according to Jaffe, Gorka’s views "signal a radical break" from the discourse "defined by the city's Republican and Democratic foreign policy elite" of the last 16 years. For Gorka, "the terrorism problem has nothing to do with repression, alienation, torture, tribalism, poverty, or America’s foreign policy blunders and a messy and complex Middle East", but is rooted in Islam and the "martial parts" of the Koran.[3]
Former State Department Counterterrorism Coordinator Daniel Benjamin and former National Security Council Senior Director Steven Simon have taken issue with Gorka's claim that the Obama and Bush 43 administrations failed to understand the importance of ideology and they give a number of examples of how government analysts "going back nearly 40 years have examined ideology's role in Islamic militancy." They argue that by jettisoning the role of "poor governance, repression, poverty and war" and failing to realize that "religious doctrine is not their sole or even primary driver," Gorka has adopted an Islamophobic approach of finding "Islam as the problem, rather than the uses to which Islam has been put by violent extremists."[56]
Others have noted additional nuance in Gorka's views about Islam. Freelance investigative journalist Richard Miniter attests that Gorka "has been emphatic that the enemy is not Islam" and that "there is an ideological war among Muslims, a small fraction of which side with al Qaeda and its ilk against the vast majority of Muslims, who are among the terrorists’ most numerous victims."[57] Andrew C. McCarthy says "The notion that he is racist, 'Islamophobic' (as opposed to anti-jihadist), or uninformed is absurd."[58] McCarthy, a columnist for the National Review, describes Gorka’s Defeating Jihad as a good "primer on the Islamic doctrinal and scholarly roots of jihadist terror," particularly "takfiri jihad" targeting fellow Muslims. Gorka believes that the jihadi threat is an ideological one that has to be addressed in manners similar to past totalitarian ideologies of the Cold War.[47][59] According to him, it is crucial to empower Muslim allies, as this is a battle within Islam.[58]
