Even by White House standards, this scrap was reportedly a doozy.
Writes Kaitlan Collins and Jeff Zeleny: "A heated argument in the West Wing between chief of staff John Kelly and national security adviser John Bolton over a recent surge in border crossings turned into a shouting match Thursday, two sources familiar with the argument told CNN."

Hmm, not sure about that one. I think they were more known for their ideological sycophantic group think. Did they ever have a debate off script with Jarrett or Emmanuel? I doubt it.
Sounds like some of us have worked, fought about issues and found paths forward. Complacency don’t feed the BullDog. Fight,surrender, or go for your gun. MAGA
