Former Breitbart columnist out at the National Security Council

Source: The Hill

A former columnist for Breitbart News is leaving her post at the National Security Council.

Tera Dahl, a former columnist for Breitbart News who served as the NSC's deputy chief of staff, has been reassigned to a position outside of the White House.


The White House said Dahl's intent was always to move into a policy role in the White House after doing work on Trump's transition to the White House.

“Tera Dahl has done exemplary work both on the transition and in the first months of the Trump administration getting the National Security Council staffed up and running from the chief of staff's office,” White House spokesperson Michael Anton said to Buzzfeed. “It was always her intent to move into a policy role once this task was completed.”

"leaving for personal reasons" or "spending more time with family" in this administration is "It was always her intent to move into a policy role once this task was completed."

If she's been reassigned as the article says, why don't they know what her new role is?

Inquiring minds want to know. I mean, we are talking about the freaking KGOP.

Who knew that being on the staff of Breitbart or InfoWars would be the fast track for a career in politics?

"Tera"? As in ter-rah-ist?

Quick bio:

Tera Dahl was the executive director of the now defunct Council on Global Security “established to uncover and counter the totalitarian ideologies that endanger individual liberty and human development around the world.” She was a frequent CONTRIBUTOR to Breitbart.com.

Dahl was also formerly the personal assistant to noted vacant ditz pandering to brainless followers, former member of Congress, MICHELE BACHMANN. That alone should tell you PLENTY.

What is not mentioned in any of the site I searched is her background/academic credentials that qualified her for ANYTHING other than a flack for the Reich-wing conspiracy mongers. She lives on Reich-wing welfare.

It's no wonder why National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster decided to get rid of her.

Tera Dahl is a nationalist extremist like Bannon. I'm not sure what writing for Breitbart and staffing for Michele Bachmann helped her qualify for the National Security role. She clashed with Mattis and McMaster and any rational human beings quite often.

She's worked closely with Sebastian and Katharine Gorka.
