You’d think someone watching this footage Raw Story pushed out to scare the masses into thinking John Bolton is some sort Putin puppet would have at least inspired a guy who calls himself a journalist to do a Google search and figure out context before sharing it with his readers.
Right?
Wrong.
WATCH: John Bolton praises ‘new era of freedom’ under Putin in bizarre propaganda video for Russian gun group https://t.co/u0AKNy7Cud

But then again, it’s Chris Cuomo we’re talking about.
And it’s CNN.
This actually seems real. Bolton praising Russia as a nation of freedom and pushing them to adopt gun rights because they are key to securing all other rights (what happened to justice?) and critical to gathering food. https://t.co/VGpyfVBtDF

You know Chris, a little Google goes a long way.
OMG.
Have you no shame?
He was praising the freedoms of the Russian Constitution adopted 20 years earlier.
But you want people to take you seriously. ? https://t.co/UstO1wNUKi

To answer this question though, no, he has no shame, but don’t you dare call him, ‘fake news’. He once compared that to calling someone the n-word.
And yes, @ChrisCuomo, gun rights do secure other rights. "Justice" is meaningless. Every despot and dictator talks of "justice." But if the people can't secure their rights, "justice" just means whatever the despot wants it to mean.
How can you be this thick?

Maybe it’s all the hairspray?
Oh, and check out the hysteria his little quote-tweet caused:

Narrator: No, she doesn’t.
Only hope is Bolton lasts as long as Scaramucci. Any longer and boom.

Way to fan those fires, Chris.
Is there ANYONE in this administration WITHOUT ties to Russia?!
— ThugLifeSocialMedia (@ThugLifeSocial) March 23, 2018
Bolton was the UN Ambassador so he has ‘ties’ to countries all over the world … ugh, you know what, never mind.
War is coming.. Remember @POTUS said it's a great unifier.

You know that look you give someone who decides to write a check at the store even though there’s a really long line behind them?
We just made that face.

Absolutely batsh*t.
Which is technically Chris’ demographic.
