Brooklyn Republican Party books Gorka, Trump Jr. for Dyker-based gala
President Donald Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. and former White House aide and Breitbart News editor Sebastian Gorka will make an appearance at the Brooklyn Republican Party’s Spring Gala, slated for Wednesday, May 16 at Dyker Beach Golf Course.
Gorka, one of many former deputy assistants to President Trump and a current contributor at Fox News, will serve as the event’s special guest speaker. Trump Jr. is billed as a special “VIP” guest.
The attendance of Gorka, predominantly, has prompted backlash from a number of local elected officials and political hopefuls on the other side of the aisle, as well as residents. Among the reaction, a Change.org petition has been launched by Andrew Gounardes to demand State Senator Marty Golden – who, his staff contends, had nothing to do with scheduling – to revoke Gorka’s invitation, citing the “anti-Muslim” media personality’s “anti-Semitic, Nazi past.”
