Neocon warmonger John Bolton had strong words for President Trump’s excellent pick of Kash Patel to head the FBI.

Bolton appears to still be bitter after President Trump fired him from his position as National Security Advisor in 2019.

Trump said at the time he “disagreed strongly” with many of Bolton’s suggestions.

“I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House. I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the Administration, and therefore I asked John for his resignation, which was given to me this morning. I thank John very much for his service. I will be naming a new National Security Advisor next week,” Trump said.

Since then, Bolton has taken any opportunity he can to whine about Trump, his policies, and now his choices for the new administration—an administration Bolton will thanfully be nowhere near.

In reacting to Kash Patel’s excellent nomination to lead the FBI, Bolton, using his elitist, wonkish ivory tower style, compared Patel to Stalin.

Bolton said, “Trump has nominated Kash Patel to be his Lavrenty Beria. Fortunately, the FBI is not the NKVD. The Senate should reject this nomination 100-0.”

Beria was a Soviet politician and one of Joseph Stalin’s secret police chiefs.

Vice President-Elect JD Vance responded to Bolton’s tantrum and fear-mongering with fire.

Vance posted on X, “John Bolton has been wrong about everything so I guess Kash must be pretty awesome.”
