Cybersecdn– Former NSC adviser Fiona Hill criticized former President Trump on Sunday after he said he was like the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in that he was a political rebel. Trump called himself a “proud political dissident” in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday. This was just a few days after Navalny died in what is thought to have been a political murder.
During the Trump government, Hill worked as a senior director for the NSC, where he was in charge of policy toward Europe and Russia. She also got a lot of attention across the country when she spoke at Trump’s first impeachment hearing in 2019 about abuse of power, which included a call about withdrawing military aid to Ukraine because they weren’t looking into Trump’s opponent at the time, Joe Biden.
Putin is the president of Russia. In a CBS “Face the Nation” interview with Margaret Brennan on Sunday, she said of Putin, “What he’s doing in the most brazen and frankly shameful fashion is trying to suggest that the United States is like Putin’s Russia.”
“When did we start killing candidates for office in this country who are running against us?” She went on, “Since when has the president of the United States wanted to kill political opponents by poisoning them or locking them up in what are Arctic prison colonies?” “President Trump’s actions are making the United States look bad.”
Trump didn’t say anything about Navalny’s death at first until a few days later when he linked it to his criminal cases. He called the decision in the civil case against him the next day a “form of Navalny.” Hill also said that the former president was wrong for always being hesitant to call Putin out.

“Trump has made it very clear that he looks up to Vladimir Putin,” she said. He keeps praising Putin even though all the proof points in the opposite direction of what he should think, which is that Putin is an open enemy of the United States right now.
