Kinzinger on Waltz’s Replacement: ‘It Could Be Somebody Like Rick Grenell, God Forbid’

EXCERPT:

KINZINGER: "Look, put on my analysis hat, I think the change will be no different than what it was, because really, and I‘m not saying this, like, to be egregious or mean, but, like, Donald Trump believes he is the smartest guy in the room. And, I mean, I‘ve been in meetings with him talking about, like, Syria, for instance. He‘ll listen to what you have to say, but he ultimately thinks he‘s the wisest. And so I think under Donald Trump, the National Security Council probably doesn‘t have much of a role anyway. So I think Rubio coming, he‘ll probably be in that position for a few months and they‘re ultimately going to replace him. It could be somebody like Ric Grenell, God forbid, or, you know, any of these other names that are passed around. I don‘t think Rubio will stay there. This all seemed to have happened last minute, so Rubio seemed to make sense. Let‘s put him in there while we figure out who‘s going to be the next national security advisor, who will be fired in six months after that."
