White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Thursday blasted former national security adviser John Bolton's new book as “deep swamp revenge porn," lashing out at the author of the latest Trump administration tell-all.
In an interview on Fox News, Navarro said “book deal, big lie John Bolton” was among the least effective officials in the Trump White House and criticized Bolton for his well-known hawkishness.
"He comes in here in his like seersucker summer suits with the big mustache. I was in a staff meeting one time; he walked in and he was absolutely giddy at the prospect of a coup in Venezuela,” Navarro told Fox News. “It was like weird, and I'm thinking to myself, ‘Wait a minute. This is a serious, serious matter and he is giddy. There's something wrong with that dude.’”
On "Fox and Friends" Thursday morning, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany also questioned Bolton's account and said he "is a misguided hawk on foreign policy and a weak dove of an author."
"He's discredited on both sides of the aisle, and if you thought [former FBI Director James] Comey was the most disliked man in America, I think John Bolton has now taken that title," McEnany said.
