CNN’s Kosinski: John Bolton ‘Has Been Tough on Russia’ on Election Meddling

‘He has spoken out harshly against Russian bad behavior many, many times in the past’

EXCERPT:

KOSINSKI: "The U.S. and Russia are, it seems, never going to be on the same page, at least any time soon, on election meddling. Russia denies it, calls it fake news, say it’s a big hoax. Sounds a lot like language we hear in other ways relating to Russia on the part of the U.S. But on election meddling, National Security Adviser John Bolton has been tough on Russia. Some consider him to be a Russia hawk. He has spoken out harshly against Russian bad behavior many, many times in the past. When you get him in this kind of scenario, they are in Geneva, he is with his Russian counterpart, you feel certain that he is going to raise it, that he is going to say something like that. And he made it pretty clear there that he said, 'It’s not going to be tolerated. We’re going to do something about it. Do not mess in our elections.'"
