"The Five" weighed in Tuesday on National Security Adviser John Bolton leaving the Trump administration.
"I don't know what happened, but I mean the guy's had a very good career very well-respected professional guy but it just didn't work out. It had been simmering for a long time," co-host Jesse Watters said.
President Trump announced Tuesday that he'd fired Bolton, saying he “disagreed strongly” with his suggestions on a range of issues. Bolton swiftly challenged Trump's version of events, saying he offered to resign.
Watters believes there were personality and ideology clashes and insinuated that Bolton might not "play well" with others in the administration.
