Now Bolton's denying that he told the Telegraph he'd vote for Biden

President Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton issued a statement Sunday evening denying that he's planning to vote for Joe Biden in November, shortly after The Telegraph reported that Bolton was intending to back Trump's Democratic rival.

"This statement is incorrect. The Ambassador never said he planned to vote for Joe Biden," Bolton spokeswoman Sarah Tinsley said in a statement obtained by Axios.

"He has consistently said in recent days he will be writing in the name of a conservative Republican. Let there be no doubt - he will not be voting for Trump or Biden," Tinsley added.

The Telegraph reported earlier Sunday that Bolton, in an exclusive interview with the British newspaper as part of a media tour for the release of his new book, "The Room Where It Happened," had said he plans to support Biden.

"An earlier version of this article stated that Mr Bolton intended to vote for Democratic candidate Joe Biden. The article has been amended to reflect that Mr Bolton does not plan to vote for US President Donald Trump."

You might be enlightening us about Trump, but you are still not a hero.

First off, you refused to testify when it was useful.
And now you are just messing with the election.

Everyone knows that voting “third party” is just messing things up further. Protest votes are NOT HARMLESS you twit.

2022 and beyond.

This message will resonate with their masses. They just can't get over the fact that Trumpolini is killing the Golden Goose.

After allowing this to go on unchecked,and after refusals to testify before the House. He'll get what he deserves I hope, and sent to prison with all the others crooks in this administration.
