Trump Adviser Has Bone-Chilling Threat For Americans Who Oppose Deportations

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-adviser-threat-oppose-deportations_n_68010f63e4b0f92ccce14fae

One of President Donald Trump’s cronies has heavily implied that Americans who demand due process for a Maryland father who was wrongly deported could meet his same fate.

On Tuesday, Trump’s senior director for counterterrorism, Sebastian Gorka, appeared on “Rob Schmitt Tonight” on Newsmax and said that those who publicly criticize Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s incarceration in a notoriously brutal prison in El Salvador could be committing a federal crime.

-------------------

According to Gorka, who was born in the United Kingdom to Hungarian parents, those who “love America” include Trump, his administration and his supporters because they want to “protect” the U.S..

Gorka then went on to describe those who “hate America” as anyone who opposes Trump and his administration’s actions by claiming they are “on the side of the cartel members, on the side of the illegal aliens, on the side of the terrorists.”

It's just an attention-grabbing headline. Bone-shilling, shocking, jaw-dropping.

I would say Gorka is one of the worst, but once you've reached bedrock, it turns out to be pretty crowded down there.
