For example, Gorka frequently discusses alleged leftist bias in media and government, framing current events as battles between conservative values and progressive agendas.
Sebastian Gorka’s website and media presence, including America First with Sebastian Gorka, promotes conspiracy theories, particularly around the 2020 election, vaccines, and immigration policies.
Election Fraud Claims: Gorka has repeatedly promoted the narrative that the 2020 U.S. presidential election was “stolen” through mass voter fraud. His interviews and discussions often feature guests who echo this belief despite the lack of credible evidence supporting widespread fraud in the election: Yes, the election was stolen, and we’ll prove it.

COVID-19 and Vaccine Misinformation: Gorka’s platform has spread misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines.

This video falsely claimed that the vaccines were ineffective and promoted discredited treatments like ivermectin: America First Highlight: The truth about COVID therapeutics.
Immigration: On immigration, Gorka’s discussions typically align with hardline conservative viewpoints, often presenting undocumented immigrants as a threat to national security and safety. For instance, his content frequently highlights cases of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants, framing these as part of a broader crisis exacerbated by lenient immigration policies: Illegal Immigration Harms All Americans.
In general, Gorka consistently presents a far-right perspective, often advancing debunked claims and conspiracy theories related to election integrity, public health, and immigration, positioning itself as a defender of conservative values against what it portrays as leftist and globalist agendas.
