(6,103 posts)but having Bolton on was ridiculous. He is a POS, remember his past. And so still he is voting for the Dump since he isn't voting for Joe.

(90,848 posts)She questioned and fact checked every word out of his mouth, in real time. He was a nervous man, wringing his hands below the table, as you could see when the camera panned back.
And in the end she said she was not going to accept any criticism from him of the station she works for, given that nobody else would have given him 20 minutes of time.
Ever since he wrote his supposed tell-all hes been working on whitewashing his personal record. Well, if you didnt bother to watch past the first 60 seconds, let me tell you that effort on his part was just shot to shit.
Bolton was always an *hole, and an *hole he remains.
Thank you Nicolle, for giving him the verbal rope to hang himself.

(42,388 posts)Then had a panel on to criticize him.
I admit, I almost turned it off, but kept watching. She called him out on his hypocrisy ("I won't vote for Trump, but Biden is incompetent. I'm going to write someone in." and really held his feet to the fire.
Isn't that what we want? She did a far better job than so-called journalists like Welker.

(11,652 posts)I much preferred Alicia Menendez when Wallace out because she's much more professional and less emotional, but Nicolle Wallace kept pushing back on Bolton when he said he would be voting third party. She threw his own words in his face again and again and got him to keep smearing Trump even though he wouldn't support Joe.

(8,828 posts)Nicole did a great job, its just he got to spew his pure bullshit opinion for 30 minutes airtime. Blaming Biden completely on the failure of Ukraine, Blaming Biden for not supporting Bibi so all the deaths of Palestinians are on Biden, calling HIM incompetent and equating Biden as being equally as horrible as Trump. And saying he will write in a candidate. Too chicken shit to say he will vote JFK Jr knowing he will be pro Republican, but this election could so easily go to Trump with all the GQP voter suppression and planned attacks and write ins could make it happen.
He would not say MAGA will do a 2.O J6 and just downplayed the last attack.
He refused to put any blame on the GQP MAGA caucus for most of the crap he dumped on Bidens lap. He did not all out condemn J6 or admit Trump was the leader in that fiasco.
Nicole DID ask hard questions but I wish she would have been allowed to smack his mug and call him the Lier he is.
Wish she would have asked how much on the 2025 plan he supported.
He is just another GQP ass. Kudos to her for trying.
