Conservatives are going to war over President Trump’s National Security Advisor, H.R. McMaster, who some feel is trying to undermine the President.
One of those fired — Director for Strategic Planning, Rich Higgins — was canned last month after writing a memo that described threats to Trump’s presidency to include globalists, bankers, the “deep state,” and Islamists. He warned that globalists and Islamists are seeking to destroy America and said it “constituted a national security priority.”
Sources say the Trump staffers fired by McMaster had repeatedly crossed their boss on issues such as U.S involvement in Syria and Afghanistan, President Obama’s Iran deal, the Paris Climate Accord and the threat of radical Islam.
Some say McMaster’s “purge” is part of a larger conflict in the White House between those committed to “draining the swamp,”‘ and “bureaucratic interests” trying to maintain establishment control over policy.
Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh called the McMaster firings “troubling.”
Conservative outrage has grown after it was revealed McMaster allowed Susan Rice, President Obama’s National Security Advisor, to keep her security clearance. This, despite accusations of her “unmasking” Trump transition team members who’s names were blacked out in national security reports.
McMaster is also under fire for his stance on Israel. Conservative Review reports that from “…interviews with several current and former members of President Trump’s inner circle, a profile of McMaster has emerged as a man fiercely opposed to strengthening the U.S. alliance with the Jewish state.”
Glick claims that during Trump’s visit to Israel, McMaster “pressured Trump to agree not to let Netanyahu accompany him to the Western Wall.
“At the time, I and other reporters were led to believe that this was the decision of rogue anti-Israel officers at the US consulate in Jerusalem. But it wasn’t. It was McMaster. And even that, it works out, wasn’t sufficient for McMaster. He pressured Trump to cancel his visit to the Wall and only visit the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial — ala the Islamists who insist that the only reason Israel exists is European guilt over the Holocaust,” Glick wrote.
White House insiders told the Washington Free Beacon that “more purges are said to be on the way,” including “at least four other senior NSC officials McMaster intends to target.
One source told the paper, “McMaster basically has this list and over the next two weeks he’s going to phase out” more senior officials loyal to Trump.”
