From The Hill: Former national security adviser John Bolton dismissed claims that former President Trump is a “threat” to democracy and emphasized that the U.S. Constitution will withstand him.
Bolton reacted Wednesday to former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) saying she will vote for Vice President Harris because Trump is a “danger” to the Constitution.
“And I don’t agree with the idea that somehow the Constitution is such a piece of weak paper that Donald Trump is a threat to it. Donald Trump will cause a lot of damage if he is elected in a second term. He is not an existential threat to American democracy. If you really think that, you must think this country isn’t worth much,” he told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source.”
“Because, we’ve gone 235 years with this Constitution. We’ve survived a lot worse than Donald Trump. And this kind of comment undercuts those who are trying to see Trump put in this place,” he added.
Cheney, a registered Republican, announced on Wednesday that she is voting for Kamala Harris in the presidential election.
Bolton, however, said he will not vote for someone with whom he has key disagreements, so he won’t be voting for either Harris or Trump. Instead, he’s going to make a “protest vote” by writing in the name of former vice president Dick Cheney.
Bolton also claimed Russian president Vladimir Putin wants Trump back in the White House.
