Did Warmonger John Bolton Just Issue Pete Hegseth a Thinly Veiled Threat? (VIDEO)

Did warmonger John Bolton issue Pete Hegseth a thinly veiled threat?

Former NatSec Advisor to Trump John Bolton appeared on CNN on Tuesday to discuss media attacks and leaks against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

A series of leaks have battered Pete Hegseth for his use of the double-encrypted Signal app.

Use of the Signal app was approved during the Biden Regime, but it has only become a scandal under Trump 2.0.

Bolton ripped into Pete Hegseth and said he should resign for his “own safety’s sake.”

“Do you believe Hegseth should still be on the job?” CNN’s Pamela Brown asked John Bolton.

“No. I think he should resign for for his own safety’s sake if nothing else. This is a critical time for the American military. We understand the Trump administration will rightly propose enormous budget increases for defense. We need it. We need a secretary who can get the job done, not somebody who spends his time on Signal chat groups,” Bolton said.

Was this a threat? Or does John Bolton know something more?

Pamela Brown teed up Bolton with another softball from fake news reports: “And just as someone who is a national security expert, the fact that it was happening on his personal cell phone, how much does that concern you knowing that foreign adversaries often target top level national security officials to get into their phones and put in spyware?”

Bolton replied, “Yeah, the – I almost never used my personal phone when I was a national security adviser. I mean, the breaches of security at risk in this conduct are enormous and I think that’s one reason why he shouldn’t be in the job.”
