In a striking rebuttal to President-elect Donald Trump's recent cabinet nominations, former National Security Advisor John Bolton has vehemently condemned Tulsi Gabbard and Congressman Matt Gaetz. Bolton labeled Gabbard's selection for Director of National Intelligence and Gaetz’s nomination as Attorney General as some of the worst choices in American history. He has gone so far as to demand FBI investigations into both nominees, claiming Gabbard's past criticisms of U.S. foreign policy and Gaetz’s alleged moral failings pose serious threats to national security. As the political landscape heats up, the clash between Bolton and Trump’s picks raises questions about the future direction of the Republican Party and its leadership.
RINO warmonger John Bolton has slammed Trump’s picks for Director of National Intelligence and Attorney General, and has even called for a law enforcement investigation into the two nominees.
Earlier this week, the President-elect announced his nomination of Tuslsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence and Congressman Matt Gaetz for Attorney General.
A furious Bolton has been freaking out calling them the “worst” and “second worst” cabinet nominations in American History.
The Gateway Pundit reports: Forget about Biden’s nominations like the incompetent Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who spent much of his time on paternity leave, or Jennifer Granholm, who pushed failed EV initiatives and whose deputy assistant secretary, Sam Brinton, though hired by Biden, was indicted for stealing luggage at airports.
Specifically, he parroted leftist talking points, accusing Tulsi Gabbard of espousing “Russian propaganda” and calling her “a serious threat to our national security” for criticizing US foreign policy, including the hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars the US has provided to Ukraine.
WATCH:
Bolton: I don’t think either she or Matt Gaetz ought to have a confirmation hearing until they have both had full-field FBI investigations, then I think the Chinese would say, “Maybe they are serious.”
Blake Burman: FBI investigations into Gabbard?
Bolton: I think so, given the Russian propaganda she’s espoused over the past period of time. I think she’s a serious threat to our national security. I think Republican Senators should reject both of them.
On NBC’s Meet the Press, Bolton whined that Gaetz is “the worst nomination for a cabinet position in American history,” citing supposed incompetence without actually providing a reason why.
Bolton: It must be the worst nomination for a cabinet position in American history. I think this is something that falls well outside the scope of deference that should be given to a president in nominating members of his senior team.
Gaetz is not only totally incompetent for this job, he doesn’t have the character, he is a person of moral turpitude. And notwithstanding how difficult it may be politically, this is a nomination the Republican Party should oppose.
Elon Musk responded to Bolton trashing Gaetz, calling it a “great sign” that the “staggeringly dumb warmonger” is against them.
