John Bolton - Chair of the Gatestone Institute

".... But one role that has received relatively little scrutiny is his work as chair of the Gatestone Institute, a nonprofit that focuses largely on publishing original commentary and news related to the threat Islam poses to Western society. He has served in that role since 2013. (Bolton did not respond to an email seeking comment.)

A steady drum beat of vitriol is visible on the Gatestone site on almost any given day."

"One of America's Most Dangerous Think Tanks Is Spreading Islamophobic Hate Across the Atlantic
The Gatestone Institute has pumped out reams of dangerous anti-Muslim propaganda, and its ties to UK groups deserve close scrutiny."

A good question asked by Malcolm Nance during his appearance on the Stephanie Miller Show this morning.

Not that he's being denied access to materials.

But Bolton will have to pass clearance in his capacity as Advisor and the public should be watching. He doesn't have to confirmed by the Senate but I would hope that we'll be raising a stink over his disgusting affiliations. Chairing Gatestone to boot.
