I agree with most of your post except this important supposition. I've never been sure about Bolton but that clip from Tucker is VERY revealing. If you have not watched it, take five minutes and do so. Tucker states Bolton has always been hard left in his past and promoted an Obama hand in his tenure. Those two things do not align with "patriot" in the way we define it. Leftists are not patriots in any way shape or form.
"John Bolton is a Bureaucratic Tapeworm"
It gets even more damning when you understand the story behind the scenes of some of those clips. The segment that starts at the 6:12 mark is from a 2017 speech Bolton gave in Paris to a group of Iranian exiles called MEK (Mujahedeen Khalq, or People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran). I did some research on this organization. It was a socialist Iranian revolutionary group founded in the 1960s, and was actually considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. government up until 2012. The U.S. military even attacked MEK militant groups that were operating in Iraq during the Iraq war, after the MEK bombed the U.N. compound in Iraq in August 2003.
This whole thing stinks to high heaven. Good riddance to this war-mongering piece of sh!t.
