John Bolton: 'I will not be shaving my mustache'

Former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton snipped back at the fixation over his facial hair Thursday, tweeting that he “will not be shaving his mustache.”

An earlier report in the Washington Post indicated that Bolton’s mustache played into President-elect Trump skipping him over for secretary of state, as it didn’t fit Trump’s “aesthetic.” That prompted the American Mustache Institute to leap to Bolton’s defense and criticize Trump for discriminating against Bolton for his “sexually dynamic Mustached American lifestyle.”
