Forget about Mitt Romney. Samantha Power has come out and publicly criticized the firing of Bolton. This woman is a f#%&ing communist.
I actually watched the exchange between Tucker and Bolton a couple years ago when it happened. At the time the hostility between the two surprised me.
In the piece the other night, which I also so, Tucker laid into Bolton and did accuse him of being a neo-con, presumably because he has hired neo-cons.
My sense remains that Bolton is an old, unrepentant cold war hawk. As far as the hires go, it’s hard to find hawks in our day, so he probably had to scrape the barrel and came up with neo-cons.
His crime as far as I’m concerned is that he is reported to have not supported his commander’s decisions. There comes a time when you salute and go do what you’ve been instructed to do.
