Rand Paul: John Bolton Is ‘Totally Unfit’ To Be Secretary of State
‘I mean really, you want a diplomat in charge of diplomacy, you don’t want a bomb-thrower’
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BLITZER: "You've written sharp words criticizing him. Would you go so far as to vote not to confirm him as secretary of state if president-elect Trump goes ahead and nominates him?"
PAUL: "I couldn't vote for Bolton unless we repudiated his vote for war in the Middle East, and lead change in the Middle East. You want a diplomat in charge of diplomacy. Not a bomb thrower. So, no. John Bolton's totally unfit to be secretary of state, and I hope that the trump Administration will say, you know what? He does not represent what Donald Trump represents which is change. And which is the understanding, the Iraq war was a mistake, and that regime change in the middle East has been a mistake."
