Expose the Gorka Counterterrorism Farce
I am a voting constituent writing to demand immediate oversight and exposure of the pathetic "National Strategy for Counterterrorism" authored by Sebastian Gorka. This 16-page, typo-ridden document is not a security strategy; it is a partisan screed that prioritizes political vendettas over American lives.
By willfully omitting any mention of far-right domestic extremism—the very threat the FBI identifies as the most lethal—this plan leaves our nation vulnerable to neo-Nazis and anti-government militias. Instead, it hallucinates threats from "secular political groups" and "pro-transgender" ideologies, weaponizing the National Security Council to target the administration’s domestic critics.
Gorka’s blueprint is a valentine to the executive branch, trading data-driven intelligence for sycophantic praise and debunked conspiracy theories. It relies on incoherent logic that ignores global data, endangers our allies, and inflates military successes to suit a narrative of political strength.
Congress must not allow national security to be governed by amateurism and ideological blindness. We need evidence-based policy, not a typo-sprinkled pamphlet that treats counterterrorism like a campaign rally. I urge you to hold immediate hearings to expose this dangerous farce before its deliberate ignorance leads to the next preventable tragedy.
