Brad Pitt slams US Senate for getting more time on screen than John Bolton did
February 09, 2020
Brad Pitt won best supporting actor Acadamy Award for his recent film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," Sunday night and he began his acceptance speech with a slight against the U.S. Senate.
"They said I have 45 seconds," Pitt said about the time he got for his acceptance speech. "Which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week."
It was a reference to the Republican-controlled Senate refusing to hear testimony from Trump's former national security adviser, who could have given a first-hand account of President Donald Trump's bribery scheme with Ukraine. Bolton had previously called it a "drug deal," that he said he didn't want any part of.
