Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to the president, told Newsmax Monday that Rep. Jerry Nadler didn’t object when former President Barack Obama ordered drone hits on Middle Eastern terrorists. But when President Donald Trump ordered a strike on a boat carrying suspected cartel drug traffickers, the New York Democrat calls for criminal charges.
“I missed the Jerry Nadler statement on that,” Gorka said on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America.” “But let me just correct that sad individual. We are at war with the cartels.
