“Good news John Bolton was fired. But the man now poised to at least temporarily fill his position is someone whose views lie somewhere between dangerous & insane. Make noise! Call reps at (202) 224-3121 (House & Senate) and say NO to Charles Kupperman,” Williamson tweeted Friday night.
Trump fired Bolton this week, citing strong disagreements with “many of his suggestions.”
A host of Republicans have been floated as possible replacements. But whichever candidate Trump picks will be appointed, rather than nominated and then subjected to confirmation in the Senate.
Kupperman, who has filled Bolton’s vacancy in an acting capacity, is reportedly being considered to serve as national security adviser on a permanent basis. Williamson was responding to a Huffington Post report revealing that Kupperman said in the 1980s that nuclear conflict with the Soviet Union was winnable.
