Bolton: 'I couldn't believe it was that bad.' Colbert: 'But you’re an international negotiator. How could you be naive? You’ve dealt with the worst people in the world.'
The amateur fireworks bursting around the country may have trouble holding a candle to Tuesday night’s conflagrations on “Late Night,” as host Stephen Colbert grilled John Bolton over his tell-all book about his time as a member of the Trump administration.
The “Late Night” host opened the interview by asking Bolton if he was a man who characterized himself as thick-skinned. Colbert, who has been an outspoken Trump critic, then preceded to challenge Bolton’s decision to join the Trump team as a senior adviser: “You had to know that that was a whirlpool of chaos in there. Even those of us looking from the outside who never got to go in could see it. Why did you go in knowing how chaotic it was? Did you think that chaos was a ladder that you could climb and do the right thing?” Colbert asked.
“What could be worse in Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden’s philosophy than betraying your country to a hostile foreign leader, sir?” Colbert continued.
