Former National Security Adviser John Bolton is reminding Republicans if they choose to speak out against President Donald Trump’s behavior, they will not be alone.
CNN’s Jake Tapper noted President-elect Joe Biden is confident he will be sworn in on Jan. 20 and asked Bolton if he agrees and how worried Americans should be based on Trump’s behavior.
Bolton shared that he is also confident Biden will be sworn in.
Tapper pressed Bolton on whether Trump’s actions are a “nonviolent attempted coup.”
“I think that gives Trump too much credit. I think he’s just playing for time in hopes that something will emerge that allows him either to have a good reason why he’s lost or in his mind, maybe still to win,” Bolton said.
He added, “But I think that simply emphasizes the need for senior Republican leaders to join those who have begun to come out and say Trump’s behavior is inexcusable.”

Bolton explained, “The Republican Party is not going to be saved by hiding in a spider hole.”
He continued, “We need all of our leaders to come out and say, ‘the election is over.’ We’re not talking about an abstract right for Trump to use his legal remedies. We’ve passed that.”
Bolton argued Trump does not have any evidence to support his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud.
