Kelly, Bolton reportedly get into White House screaming match

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and national security adviser John Bolton got into a profanity-laced argument outside the Oval Office on Thursday – a shouting match that startled West Wing staff, according to a report.

The two Cabinet members got into it over the surge in border crossings and the procession of thousands of migrants from Central American countries edging closer to the United States, CNN reported.

Kelly and Bolton have been feuding over the issue for days, but it broke into a full-fledged brawl on Thursday when Trump sided with Bolton.

The fact that Trump backed Bolton only infuriated Kelly even more, the report said.

BFD-it is probably fake news, but if it is not, so what-I’d much rather see staff have honest profane and upfront shouting matches that can be resolved than have a bunch of ass kissers tiptoeing around each other while they sharpen a knife to slash someone’s throat in the dead of night...

First it was adult words, then yelling, now it is screaming. I am not buying it. That is what dems do.

IIRC Kelly is a retired full general, a 4 star. You don’t normally rise to that rank if you can’t control your temper.

My guess is that this is Team Trump trolling the press once again. Those fools will believe anything as long as they think it makes the administration look incompetent.

“The leaks are real, the news is fake”- a Trump tweet in all of its enigmatic glory.

No one. The media makes it up. On a regular basis.

What’s to argue about? Is Kelly arguing “Let them in?”

Kelly is chief of staff, what’s he doing trying to drive policy other than what Trump wants. He gets the opportunity to whisper in Trump’s ear and he gets near immediate feedback. He’s got no business arguing in public with profanities.

I guess this means Kelly is gone post midterm.
