Jake Tapper: 'One doesn’t have to be brilliant to attempt a coup.'

John Bolton: 'I disagree with that. As somebody who has helped plan coup d’etat, not here, but other places, it takes a lot of work.'

'The issues that sparked #BLM were not new. Little had changed, beyond the urgent realisation that so little had changed for so many for so long. Evidence for this was mounting, in mortuaries and hospital beds, as the demonstrations took place. bit.ly/3s8TgEI '
