Oh boy. The White House has responded to the claims from John Bolton that the administration had locked him out of his Twitter account, and it is… something.
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said former national security adviser John Bolton’s “advanced age” could be to blame for being locked out of his Twitter account after he left the Trump administration.
“Sometimes, I’ll use my father as an example, somebody who is of an advanced age may not understand that all you have to do is contact Twitter and reset your password if you’ve forgotten it so I’ll just leave it at that,” Grisham told Fox Business on Friday.
Bolton, 71, is two years younger than President Trump.
Yikes. Has there ever been any indication that Bolton is limited at all by his “advanced age”? Given the proclivities of this administration, I think it is far more likely that they did in fact try to block him from tweeting.
Here’s one of the tweets:
In full disclosure, the @WhiteHouse never returned access to my Twitter account. Thank you to @twitter for standing by their community standards and rightfully returning control of my account.

Trump denied it himself, so who are you going to believe, Bolton or the greatest president ever self-created in this universe or any other?
