John Bolton Tells Kaitlan Collins He Voted for Dick Cheney in 2020 and Will Write Him In Again

Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton revealed to CNN host Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday that he voted for former Vice President Dick Cheney in the 2020 presidential election and would write him in again this year.

During an interview with Bolton on her CNN show The Source, Collins asked, “Who did you write in in 2020? You’ve never revealed that before.”

Bolton replied, “Well, I might as well say it now. I voted for Dick Cheney.”

After Collins said, “Wow,” Bolton continued, “And I’ll vote for Dick Cheney again this November.”

The conversation continued:

Collins: You’ll write in Dick Cheney?

Bolton: That’s right.

Collins: What made you write him in?

Bolton: Because he was a principled Reaganite conservative and he still is. Age is no longer a factor in American presidential politics, so his age doesn’t disqualify him, and I think he’d do an immensely better job than either Trump or Biden.

Asked whether he would vote for Cheney’s daughter, former Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney, Bolton said, “Well, I like Liz a lot and, you know, maybe someday she’ll get my write-in vote too. But right now, I’ll stick with her father.”

He then concluded, “I hope it sways the electorate and prevents both Trump and Biden from being the successful candidate, and if I can start a nationwide write-in campaign for Dick Cheney, maybe I should do that.”

Bolton, who served as a prominent face of the Trump administration between 2018 and 2019, was dropped from his position after Trump cited “many” policy disagreements with his adviser.

Since then, Bolton has become a prominent critic of Trump, attacking the former president’s intelligence and record in the White House.
