This Is Madness: Joe Scarborough Rips Into Report of John Boltons State Department Nod

by J.D. Durkin | 8:01 am, December 12th, 2016

While it seems as if Rex Tillerson is set to be slated as our nation’s next Secretary of State (though he’s certainly an appointment that will be heavily contested), Andrea Mitchell of NBC News reported that Tillerson may have some unusual company joining him:

He will also be paired with former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton as his deputy secretary of state, one of the sources added, with Bolton handling day-to-day management of the department.


It’s a head-scratching move that had MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough perplexed Monday morning. “Bolton doesn’t have what it takes to nail the place down,” Scarborough alleged, indicating Bolton’s role to compliment that of Tillerson’s. “And by the way why would Donald Trump pick a guy who still thinks invading Iraq was a good idea?”

“This is madness by the way. I keep hearing John Bolton’s name. This guy still believes — knowing everything that we know — that we should have invaded Iraq,” Scarborough continued incredulously.

There is no need to listen to Joe Scarborough or his side-kick. Their program sucks.

we could have that awful program replaced with something better. I'm just asking people to think about stopping the practice of rewarding hostile media with our patronage.

wannabe Intern Slayer talking tough,we all know Bolton will never make the cut. McCain and Graham won't let it happen. They caught way to much flack the last time he showed up. Senate Rethugs still regret kissing Condi Rices Ring.
