Trump national security spokesman to depart White House

Source: the hill



By Luis Sanchez and Niall Stanage - 04/08/18 08:04 PM EDT



..................................

After Flynn’s departure, critics contend Anton aligned himself with the more moderate worldview espoused by McMaster and his allies.

“Anton got the job for one reason — he was the most pro-Trump of anyone associated with the national security area,” said one source close to the White House.

This source insisted, “He completely flipped. He was brought in because of Flynn but he became the biggest cheerleader for the McMaster faction that fought against implementing the president’s policies.”


Whether that is true or not, his departure cleans the slate for Bolton to build his own team. Monday will be Bolton's official first day on the job.

"...that fought against implementing the president’s policies."
Would that be the "We're not crazy commies faction? or the "We support and defend America and OUR ALLIES first, faction?" If so count me in. Perhaps they didn't want to be identified with a bunch of looooosers who are ready and willing to sell out their country to a bunch of commies for 30 pieces of silver to please the commie loving Dotard-in-Chief.
