A conservativeRepublican, he began his federal service in the administration of Pres. Ronald Reagan, holding positions in the U.S. Agency for International Development and as assistant attorney general (1985–89). From 1989 to 1993, under Pres. George H.W. Bush, he was assistant secretary of state for international organization affairs. During the 1990s Bolton was active in prominent conservative organizations, including the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), at which he was a vice president in 1997–2001, and the Project for the New American Century. He also was an official of the Republican National Committee.
I mean, it’s obvious why you don’t want to claim him, but facts aren’t on your side.
This blatant mischaracterization of events in this thread is just as ridiculous as Carlson’s attempt to pass Bolton off as a leftist.
Bolton is just another notch on the bed post of Trumps “only the best” failures. The Trump bootlickers now have another one of their own who could be a threat and expose this weak and chaotic administration for exactly what it is. John Bolton is a terrible choice for any administration and Trump owns this Bolton mess from top to bottom.
Yes, he is a neocon. And that used to be called Neoliberalism.
But those guys went to the GOP in the 1960s. You’re not going to use that stale argument, are you?
Look, there is reality and there is history. Historically the Dems were the Hawks, Vietnam changed that. Just because it used to be called Neoliberalism doesn’t mean that Bolton is a Democrat. That is like saying that just because Hitler co-opted the National Socialist party for his fascist reign that fascism is actually Leftist.
Just not very logical, its like saying that AntiFa is conservative because they have fascist in their name.
Bolton is a lifelong Republican, served Conservative think tanks, worked for Conservative Presidents, he is not a Democrat.
