Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to the president and senior director for counter terrorism, eviscerated Politico during a Security Summit hosted by the outlet on Thursday, after a reporter prodded him on "due process" for gangbangers and designated terrorists.

Gorka brought up the case of MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom the media have lionized as a simple 'Maryland father,' glossing over his past as an alleged wife-beater and human trafficker.

Dasha Burns suggested that the evidence in identifying such individuals as members of violent gangs like Tren de Aragua (TdA) and La Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) is "tricky" and would be helped by affording these criminal illegal aliens due process.

"Why are you talking as if these people are US citizens?" an agitated Gorka asked. "So, you're defending members of FTOs (Foreign Terrorist Organizations)."

"What you're doing right now is, you're saying designated terrorists should have the rights of somebody who's in a contractual dispute with their neighbor."

The top Trump administration official suggested it's not tricky at all to identify the bad guys, noting the famous knuckle tattoos Abrego Garcia has been photographed with, which spell out in symbols 'M-S-1-3.'

He literally branded himself a member of the gang, and the media responded, 'Well, it doesn't literally spell it out for us.'

Burns plays that game during this interaction as well.

"The tattoo did not say MS-13, I don't want to get into that," she said.

That's when Gorka absolutely leveled Burns and her employer.

🔥ROASTED🔥@SebGorka just eviscerated POLITICO on their own stage.

"This is why POLITICO is a JOKE! This is why you're gutter-press and fake news!"

"You're sitting here, live, defending a member of MS-13!"

"This isn't journalism. This is protecting those who hate America.… pic.twitter.com/PMeoPAl0FA

"This is why Politico is a joke. This is why you are gutter press and fake news," Gorka seethed. "That those four symbols that just happen to comport with the letters MS and the numbers 13 don't, in this case, represent MS-13."

"You're sitting here live, defending a member of MS-13. That's why I regret coming here, because this isn't journalism, this is protecting those who hate America," he continued. "Shame on you!"

To be fair, the job of legacy media has been shifting from "journalism" to defending those who hate America for some time now. If you want to get technical, the press themselves are loaded with people who hate America.

That aside, I'd like to call the police and report a vehicular homicide after Gorka just ran over the entire fake news industry. He wasn't nearly done.

The counterterrorism expert circled back to the 'Maryland father' tripe doled out by the press and absolutely turned it on its head.

"How about Maryland fathers compared to Maryland mothers?" Gorka pressed. "Like Rachel Morin, mother of five, raped and murdered and thrown in a ditch."

"How about Jocelyn Nungaray? Aged 12, raped a mile from her home and thrown in a ditch. It's strange that Politico doesn't do articles about her. That mother or that 12-year-old girl," he added. "Why is that?"

"Why is the MS-13 guy with the knuckle tattoos more important in terms of due process than the lives of 12 year-old girls brutally raped. It's weird that the priorities shift to defending the member of an FTO, but not the children and the women."

Straight. Fire.

Following the 28-minute interview, Burns thanked Dr.Gorka for the "lively discussion," and the two walked off stage.

You love to see it. This is exactly how you handle the media and their lies. Gorka is one of the best at it.
