Speaking to MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace on Friday about Trump’s comments, Bolton said, “This is the point, when somebody does 180 degrees from understanding American allies to backing America’s adversaries, that you resign.”

He then called on Rubio and Mike Waltz, the national security adviser, to resign, adding: “This is really the time to do it. If they don’t get out now, I think their reputations will suffer for a long, long time, and that would be sad because their record in believing in a strong American national security policy is very good up until now.”

After Friday’s meeting between Trump and Zelensky, the Ukrainian president was asked to leave the White House, with Trump later writing on social media, “I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace.”
