White House Cancels 'State Of The Union' Interview With John Bolton After Trump's "Fake News" Attack
Source: Deadline.com
Jake Tapper was set to interview National Security Adviser John Bolton on Sundays State of the Union, but the White House decided to cancel the appearance. The cancellation comes in the wake of Donald Trumps exchange with CNNs Jim Acosta at a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May Friday.
Tapper took to Twitter to announce the news saying that Boltons interviewed was locked. Then the president attacked CNN during his UK presser, and our WH correspondent tried to ask a question, he tweeted. We are told Amb. Bolton remains fully prepared to do the interview but the White House has canceled it.
During the aforementioned press conference, Trump refused to answer a question from Acosta and then said that the news network didnt cover his takedown of the reporter. He then attacked CNNs Jeff Zucker tweeting, Remember, it was Little Jeff Z and his people, who are told exactly what to say, who said I could not win the election in that there was no way to 270 (over & over again) in the Electoral College. I got 306! They were sooooo wrong in their election coverage. Still hurting!

(44,112 posts)Actually a @CNN reporter disrespected @POTUS & PM May during their press conf. Instead of rewarding bad behavior, we decided to reprioritize the TV appearances for administration officials.

(51,584 posts)The moron was whining to "the media that The Sun (owned by Murdoch) got the story wrong and he has a tape of the real interview because that is what you have to do with FAKE NEWS". He insulted PM May and actually walked it back since he realized how it was not a wise move. I think he has done that (actually acknowledge that he made an error in judgment) only two or three times in his 72 narcissistic years. Geez dude, grow up and stop bitching about you loss of the popular vote 18+ months ago! BIG BABY BALLOON WAS PERFECT!

(2,412 posts)I am relieved that Bolton will not be interviewed. I guess the Trump Admiistration is holding off on boltons War on Iran for now. They may start it at anytime that they need another distraction.

Now that we are formally at war - an Executive Order/King's Decree will be issued - it is now unpatriotic and treasonous to criticize the Presi-dunce since war has been declared against XXXX (Iran).
