'The Adults Are Back in the White House': Gorka Praises Trump's Admin Picks

2016-11-21

President-elect Donald Trump continued to fill out his administration Friday, announcing he will nominate Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions for attorney general, Kansas Rep. Mike Pompeo as director of the Central Intelligence Agency and Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn as national security adviser.

Dr. Sebastian Gorka appeared on "Fox & Friends Weekend" this morning to share insight on what these picks tell us about the direction of our country, particularly when it comes to national security.

Gorka said that anyone who voted for Trump because they have concerns about terrorism, border security and radical Islam can "rest easy."

"The grownups are in charge," Gorka said. "The adults are back in the White House in the cabinet."

He explained that Flynn is an extremely experienced general and a true "soldier's soldier," Sessions is a leading proponent of tough immigration enforcement policies, and Pompeo has an amazing resume, graduating first in his class at West Point, editing the Harvard Law Review and serving on the House Intelligence Committee.

"This is an amazing start for America," Gorka said.

#8 Yes, the media will not change but they will go broke taking that course. Many ignore them now. I just hope the Republicans don't listen to them as their council is out of sync with America.

#7 The media WILL NOT change. They cannot, to do so would be an admission that their entire world view and what it is based on is false. They would have to abandon their religion.

#6 The media certainly haven't change since Bush, and show no sign of changing their stripes after their recent monstrous humiliation.

#5 Sad thing is I remember the same "adults in charge again" bit when W took power and stacked his admin with experts. Then they bumbled into Iraq with minimal long term game plans beyond hopeless optimism about Arabs. I hope these adults learned from those adults.

#4 Glad there are adults coming back to government. We suffered through a era of boneheads fostering division and stirring up trouble--leadership from behind nonsense. IMO it will take awhile to clean up the mess left behind; Trump is a skillful guy and maybe it will be cleaned ~~out~~ up before we know it tho some of the speedbumps are making noises.

IMO Trump will deal with the ME and Norks quickly and decisively too. ISIS will fade away with a bit of help. So far, he has done a good job in considering and selecting appointments who can and will do what is needed.

#3 His ME and or Nork tests are coming. My guess is there will be unannounced, but very decisive bitch slaps.

#2 If I see malingering and sabotage from the idiot commies running this idiot government, It's time to throw a flag on their play. I see it starting already.

#1 I AM now throwing all my weight behind Donald Trump. Actions speak louder than words. I Pray many help turn the rafts around from the riskey shoals they have been led into.

He needs help being outnumbered by the administrative state. I AM asking with humility he is granted it.
