WASHINGTON John Bolton, President Donald Trumps new national security adviser, chaired a nonprofit that has promoted misleading and false anti-Muslim news, some of which was amplified by a Russian troll factory, an NBC News review found.
The groups authors also appeared on Russian media, including Sputnik and RT News, criticizing mainstream European leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron.
From 2013 until last month, Bolton was chairman of the Gatestone Institute, a New York-based advocacy group that warns of a looming jihadist takeover of Europe leading to a Great White Death.
The group has published numerous stories and headlines on its website with similar themes. Germany Confiscating Homes to Use for Migrants, warned one from May 2017, about a single apartment rental property in Hamburg that had gone into temporary trusteeship. Another from February 2015 claimed the immigrants, for instance Somalis, in Sweden were turning that country into the Rape Capital of the West.

These people NEVER quit. They get tossed out on their ass, and their lack of humility keeps them floating back into the center of the cesspool.
Ive NEVER in my lifetime witnessed an administration so chockablock with misfits, criminals, zealots, racists, cranks, fakes, lunatics, outcasts, sadists, ideologues, losers, thieves and recycled failures (to highlight but a few).
