“ ‘My take on him is Big Lie Bolton, it’s Book Deal Bolton, he is doing it for the money, that is pretty clear, and my view is it is the Washington swamp’s equivalent of revenge porn.’ ”
That’s White House trade adviser and staunch Trump defender Peter Navarro slamming former national security adviser John Bolton over his upcoming tell-all.
“He talks about the pattern of behavior with the president,” Navarro continued. “Well, the pattern of behavior of John Book Deal Bolton is to go into an administration, advance his own agenda, and when he gets fired from that administration or leaves like he did in the Bush administration, he leaves and then criticizes the people he left behind who gave him the job.”
Watch the clip:
Bolton’s controversial book, “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,” was originally scheduled to be released back in March, but after getting its release date delayed twice, it is now set to be released next week by publisher Simon & Schuster.
The book covers an array of topics, including “chaos in the White House, sure, but also assessments of major players, the president’s inconsistent, scattershot decision-making process, and his dealings with allies and enemies alike, from China, Russia, Ukraine, North Korea, Iran, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany,” according to a preview from Simon & Schuster.
Navarro is just one of several White House officials and GOP lawmakers who have dismissed the damning allegations that keep popping up in excerpts from the book. President Trump called Bolton a “liar” and the DOJ is suing to try and block its release of the memoir.
