On Monday night's broadcast of Hannity on the FOX News Channel, Sebastian Gorka called former CIA director John Brennan, an outspoken Trump critic, a communist and a traitor.
"John Brennan who is accusing the president being a traitor voted for the communist party at the height of the Cold War in 1976 when the Soviet Union actually wanted to destroy America. That's treasonous," Gorka said.

SEAN HANNITY, HOST: The president, Dr. Gorka, was very clear in saying this has been the biggest, the biggest wedge between the two countries. Nobody knows what was said privately between them. Putin is denying it, you know, the idea that he has something.
But here's I think the most important part that we got to get into and that is, at some point, we need to have the specific evidence and the double standard is glaring in this particular case as it relates to the servers, as it relates to the e-mails that are missing. And at some point we got to say where are -- where is this evidence as well because we want to know who knew what when and where.
SEBASTIAN GORKA, FOX NEWS NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGIST: Look, Sean, let me -- let me address the question of how everybody is reacting to the press who were on the left. But first, a reminder with regards to what you mentioned earlier.
John Brennan who is accusing the president being a traitor voted for the communist party at the height of the Cold War in 1976 when the Soviet Union actually wanted to destroy America. That's treasonous.
Vladimir Putin is a bad guy, he is a bad actor. But the Russian Federation is not the Soviet Union. And as far as I know Donald Trump never voted for the communist party at the height of the Cold War, so let's just put that on the record.
With regard to the reaction to today's summit, it's a little bit like the Strzok testimony. You saw the unveiling of the deep state last week with Strzok's testimony, today you really saw the depth of the mainstream media. Nobody in that room behave like a journalist. They were like members of Move on.org or the resistance.
The idea that we have a chance to talk about big issues, saving hundreds of thousands of lives in Syria, the question of Ukraine's national sovereignty. And instead they want to perpetuate this bogus collusion narrative. They came out of the closet there is no journalism on the mainstream media left and it was absolutely shambolic.
