Very telling...

I'm watching Nicole Wallace interview Bolton on MSNBC. She's nodding along with everything he says and cracking a smile here and there. She is almost hypnotized by this creep. I'm not saying it is so, but it's almost like he wrote the questions she is asking.

was kind of listening in background because I was too lazy to change the channel.

She didn't really challenge him much, though.

and they have probably known each other for awhile. That's fine if they are just having a conversation. But this is not an impartial journalist interviewing someone.

I thought she did well to point out that he seemed to think he was the smartest in the room and was calling everyone else incompetent, like McMaster and Mattis. I thought she showed him to be who he is a self serving know it all.

just a never trumper...I believe she and others like her (including the Lincoln Project people) will go back to attacking Biden and other Democrats once trump is defeated. I appreciate the help in getting the monster out of office but they mostly support (imo) the thuglican policies, just don't like trump...

Let me put it this way. If I am the news editor at MSNBC and I have landed Bolton for an interview, Wallace is not who I hand that interview to. It's almost impossible for her to go into that interview without preconceived notions. I would rather see Brian Williams or Chris Hayes do that interview.

Now it may very well be that her doing the interview was a demand on Bolton's part, who knows?

And from a psychological view point, I can't state how telling it is when someone nods whenever the other person is talking. It's a sign of that other person being in control.

Nicole Wallace is no fan of the repugs -- not for a long time

I really don't understand why he's considered interview-worthy by anybody outside Fox "News."

Colbert was ok with him but I don't think he should have gotten the platform...he mostly attacks dems, as much as drumph...made me throw up in my mouth a little after watching the whole thing...B is an insipid jerk...
