Rep. Meeks Statement on Appointment of John Bolton as National Security Advisor
Washington, D.C.—Senior Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Congressman Gregory W. Meeks (NY-05) released the following statement on President Trump's appointment of John Bolton as National Security Advisor:
"John Bolton has a record of advocating for and steering some of the most disastrous and destructive foreign policies we've seen in recent decades. To have him again in a position to influence American foreign policy is deeply concerning, and consequential. Our nation is still paying for all of his previous war hungry interventionist mistakes.
"If President Trump's reckless and bellicose rhetoric wasn't bad enough, he has now coupled it with one of the most unhinged war mongers in America. President Trump said on the campaign trail, 'no more stupid wars.' Now he has selected a national security advisor that is unrelenting in his hawkish and flawed view of the world, a view that seeks military action as a solution to every problem."
