Senior White House aide Sebastian Gorka has reportedly offered his letter of resignation to President Donald Trump.
After nearly eight months serving in the White House, Gorka cited his reason for leaving mainly on ‘forces’ who are turning the President away from his campaign promise of ‘Making America Great Again.’
‘[G]iven recent events, it is clear to me that forces that do not support the MAGA promise are – for now – ascendant within the White House,’ The Federalist reported Gorka’s letter as stating on Friday.
‘As a result, the best and most effective way I can support you, Mr. President, is from outside the People’s House,’ he adds.
The White House, however, denied that Gorka had quit, but noted that he was no longer working for the administration.
‘Sebastian Gorka did not resign, but I can confirm he no longer works at the White House,’ a press statement released by a Trump spokesperson said.
The unflappable Englishman was seen in many quarters as the President’s most ardent defender, going on a litany of news outlets both in the US and UK to answer questions on behalf of the Trump administration.
But that all seemed to be tampered by Friday’s news, with Gorka expressing disappointment in the direction of the Trump administration, lamenting specifically about renewed American efforts in Afghanistan.
‘Regrettably, outside of yourself, the individuals who most embodied and represented the policies that will ‘Make America Great Again,’ have been internally countered, systematically removed, or undermined in recent months. This was made patently obvious as I read the text of your speech on Afghanistan this week,’ Gorka wrote.
