Peters is a jerk but was more of a never Trumper than pro-Hillary. He has been rightly chastised here on FR multiple times for both.
However, he is not a leftist imbecile, shilling the party line no matter what. His credibility varies depending upon the article. This time, his assessment of the “Arab Street” is pretty accurate. The global reaction to the embassy move so far has been much more muted than what foreign policy establishment types predicted.
He voted for Hillary and made some virulent anti-Trump comments during the run up to the election. He has no credibility.
I used to think Peters was a great guy, now when I see him as a guest on Varney or any other show, I flip right past. Haven’t heard his opinion in a year.
