In a stunning takedown during Politico’s so-called “security summit,” Dr. Sebastian Gorka, Deputy Assistant to President Donald Trump and Senior Director for Counter Terrorism, eviscerated Politico’s White House Bureau Chief Dasha Burns for shamelessly running cover for violent illegal alien gang members while ignoring the American victims of their brutality. The exchange exposed the liberal media’s blatant agenda—protecting criminals at the expense of innocent American lives.
When Gorka highlighted the Trump administration’s success in deporting MS-13 gang members like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Burns attempted to gaslight the audience, questioning how authorities could even confirm gang affiliation. Gorka fired back with razor-sharp precision:
*“You mean the tattoos of MS-13 don’t help?”*
Burns, flustered, tried to deflect: *“The tattoos of (Abrego Garcia) did not say MS-13, so I don’t want to get into that.”*
Gorka, refusing to let her spin the truth, demolished her weak argument:
*“Oh, it’s just an accident that the four symbols (on Garcia’s hands) represent MS-13… This is why Politico is a joke. This is why you’re gutter-press and fake news! That these four symbols just happened to comport with the letters MS and the number 13… You’re sitting here live, defending a member of MS-13!”*
The crowd erupted as Gorka exposed the hypocrisy of Politico and the liberal media at large. Instead of focusing on the real victims—American citizens brutalized by illegal alien criminals—outlets like Politico obsess over fake narratives like “Russia collusion” while downplaying the horrors inflicted on innocent families.
Gorka didn’t hold back, forcing Burns to confront the media’s glaring double standard:
“How about Maryland fathers compared to Maryland mothers? Like Rachel Morin, mother of five, rped and murdered and thrown in a ditch? How about Jocelyn Nungaray, age 12, r*ped a mile from her home and thrown in a ditch? It’s strange that Politico doesn’t do stories about her. 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 r*ped?”*
He then recounted a harrowing story shared by Congressman Dan Crenshaw about a 16-year-old girl smuggled into the U.S., locked in a room, and repeatedly assaulted for 18 months before escaping. “It’s strange that Politico doesn’t cover these stories. Can you tell me why?” Gorka demanded.
Burns, caught in her lies, stammered before Gorka delivered the final blow:
“No, you have not covered those stories. I’d like to see the Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin stories in comparison to the Russia Russia collusion garbage. I mean, let’s be honest here. You have an agenda!”

This explosive confrontation proves what conservatives have long known—the liberal media cares more about protecting illegal alien criminals than American citizens. While President Trump and his administration fight to secure the border and deport violent gang members, the left-wing press sows doubt, defends lawlessness, and ignores the victims of open-border policies.
