National security adviser John Bolton is "a malignant influence" in the White House, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said Thursday.
According to The Hill, Paul — one of President Donald Trump's allies on Capitol Hill — is against the administration's increased military activity regarding Iran.
"I fear that he's a malignancy, a malignant influence on the administration," Paul said. "My concern is that there are people that will overreact to this intelligence and somehow get us involved in a military conflict from which there's no turning back."
The intelligence Paul was referring to deals with a reported threat to the United States from Iran. As a result, the Pentagon sent an armada of ships to the Middle East and, according to one report, has one option that would send 120,000 troops to deal with Iran.

Throw him out. We are trillions in debt and don't need another endless occupation of a middle East country.
Rand Paul sounds more French to me every time he opens his mouth. He would hand over our country to any enemy, before ever firing a shot. He has never met a war worth fighting. He has never met an enemy so evil, to fight and die to defend against. He still lives in a hippie world in his head. He is a coward and a wuss.
