Bolton's criticism of Gorka centers on his perceived lack of legitimate qualifications, suggesting he may not support effective counterterrorism efforts. "I tell you, he needs a full field FBI background investigation about his educational claims and things like that... that's what Trump wants. He doesn't want Gorka's opinions. He wants Gorka to say, Yes, sir." This statement underscores Bolton's view that Gorka is unqualified and merely a sycophant to Trump's authority.
In discussing Gorka's appointment and future role, Bolton emphasized the importance of scrutiny in governmental positions beyond just the top jobs, emphasizing how critical it is to understand the individuals who fill these ranks. He remarked, "But I don't think it's going to bode well for counterterrorism efforts when the NSC senior director is somebody like that. The questions of who are the deputy secretaries, who are the undersecretaries, and so on is also going to tell us a lot about who's actually running the government."
