John. F…..g. Bolton.

On a recent segment about Donald Trump's controversial phone call with Vladimir Putin, Maddow expressed concern for the way the White House's mustachioed Thanos wannabe has been unable to push back against Russian interests in Venezuela with sufficient aggression. She discussed Trump's nonsensical claim that Russia isn't active in the affairs of its ally Venezuela (which propaganda mouthpieces like Maddow are calling "interfering" now), then went on a rambling tirade about how this impedes Bolton's bloodthirsty instincts as though that's a bad thing.

"Hey, John Bolton, hey, Mike Pompeo, are you guys enjoying your jobs right now?" Maddow asked. "You each thought your job this week was to name and shame and threaten and counter Russian government involvement in Venezuela while sabre-rattling about how everyone better get out of the way because the US is really mad about it. Guys, turns out your actual job is figuring out why you work for a president who says whatever Vladimir Putin tells him. I mean, just to be clear here, how do you come to work anymore if you're John Bolton?"
