On Sunday, Ohio Governor John Kasich appeared on CNN amid rumors that he will run for president in 2020 and immediately showed that has no idea how Washington, D.C. functions, despite being a career politician who has worked in D.C.
Kasich, a failed presidential candidate, told CNN’s “State of The Union” that he is very concerned about President Donald Trump’s new National Security Advisor John Bolton, indicating that the confirmation hearings for Bolton will be critical.
There’s just one problem with Kasich’s comments: The National Security Advisor position is not a Senate-confirmed position.
Kasich’s embarrassing comment was first pointed out by Jeremy Scahill, co-founder of The Intercept, who tweeted: “John Kasich, who may run against Trump in 2020, seems completely unaware of the fact that National Security Advisor is not a Senate-confirmed position. He keeps talking about John Bolton’s “hearing” being important.”
