Tension in the Trump administration: Counter-terrorism official marks prominent right-wing figures

As part of a series of interviews on the Trump administration's new counter-terrorism strategy, Sebastian Gorka, serving as a senior official on the National Security Council, sparked a storm after marking media star Tucker Carlson and far-right activist Nick Fuentes as individuals who could be defined as "domestic terrorists."

According to the report by the Rerum Novarum channel, Gorka claimed that the two are not "conservatives" and that this statement was intended to allow the administration to "pursue" them under the banner of fighting extremism. The Geopolitics Watch channel, which displays a critical position toward current US policy, reported that Gorka stated in his interviews that the two "praise Sharia law," a claim intended to substantiate their classification as dangerous actors.

On the other hand, the Jewish Truth Archive channel – a channel with a right-wing political orientation that analyzes the administration from a Jewish angle – presents a narrative according to which the administration is using terror definitions as a tool broader than what was stated. According to the channel, the President's counter-terrorism strategy (NSPM-7) is aimed not only against the left, but against "anyone who does not align with the broader MAGA agenda."

The Openly Biased channel summarized the event as a dramatic development, highlighting the shift in the Trump administration's policy lines toward its former supporters and right-wing media figures who criticize the mainstream of the Republican Party.
