This is actually pretty funny. Mattis met Bolton earlier today and actually said “I’ve heard you’re the devil incarnate”.

Here’s the video:

In off-mic moment caught by TV cameras, Mattis just greeted Bolton on the Pentagon steps: “It’s good to finally meet you, since I’ve heard that you’re the devil incarnate.” Bolton chuckled. pic.twitter.com/BuubOaVZk9 — Vera Bergengruen (@VeraMBergen) March 29, 2018







Mattis has assured the media that he has no reservations whatsoever about working with Bolton, even saying this:

Yesterday Mattis told reporters at the Pentagon that he has “no reservations, no concerns at all” about working with Bolton, who in addition to hawkish views has history of abusive workplace behavior. “Last time I checked, he’s an American and I can work with an American, okay?” https://t.co/VeCXaA05K3 — Vera Bergengruen (@VeraMBergen) March 29, 2018

Asked how Bolton’s uber-hawkish views will square with his own, Mattis told reporters yesterday “I hope that there’s some different worldviews. That’s the normal thing you want, unless you want groupthink.” Asked again, he said “You know, don’t worry about that. We’ll be fine.” — Vera Bergengruen (@VeraMBergen) March 29, 2018

Looks like they are headed for a bromance for sure! LOL! [sce emoji=”cwl”/]

Btw, this is your open thread. Don’t tell anyone!
