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 Sunday’s State of the Union, but the White House decided to cancel the appearance. The cancellation comes in the wake of Donald Trump’s exchange with CNN’s Jim Acosta at a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May Friday.

Tapper took to Twitter to announce the news saying that Bolton’s 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 didn’t cover his “takedown” of the reporter. He then attacked CNN’s 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!”

“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.”

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!

Dems are always outnumbered by at least double...so great, if Trump & GOP pull out bkz their fee fees are hurt, we get their free airtime to actually frame and message our democratic view point & THE FACTS for a change.

I like where this might lead for us....

As well as all of the terrible hosts.

I'm was so grateful when Chris Hayes started Up and now Joy Reid does AM Joy to get some Democratic messaging & fact checking out over the weekend.

I am relieved that Bolton will not be interviewed. I guess the Trump Admiistration is holding off on bolton’s War on Iran for now. They may start it at anytime that they need another distraction.

... when Mueller finally lights King of Orange and his ass on fire. Bolton will stir up a conflict somewhere - then trDump will be declared the War presi-Dunce.

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).
