He's nothing but a "cowardly" autocrat
Reading a tweet by John Bolton (assistant to president Trump for national security affairs), while addressing the critical situation in Venezuela, I noticed what seems to be a mistake:
"Interim President Guaido bravely leads the Venezuelan people through the streets, while Maduro hides in a military bunker somewhere, surrounded by his Cuban overseers and corrupt cronies. Guaido shows the courage of a leader; Maduro is nothing but a cowardly autocrat."
Shouldn't it be "coward"? I don't think an adverb works there.
