Interesting interview. Fiona Hill is such a classy person. Very brave to stand up to TFG & his minions.
See my tweet below for my take on the sexist nickname.

The (childish) nickname he used was "the Russia bitch" and I want y'all to know that term like several others is a far lamer insult in British, Kiwi, and Aussie culture than in the US. Same goes for the C word. We use them almost as terms of endearment LOL.

While it's true that calling her that IS sexist and misogynistic (no surprise there) I bet he had no idea what a lame insult it is for someone who grew up in the UK. If someone calls me a "bitch" I laugh. So the joke is on TFG. He is very unintelligent & that is proven every day.
During the time that I was a MAGA cult member I had allowed my mind to be fooled because of "confirmation bias" and other all too common tricks the human mind can play on all of us. We are ALL hardwired as pattern seekers. Look it up and you will learn a lot about the subject.
Confirmation bias meant that during that time I was esp. prone to seeing what I wanted to see, rather than seeing the truth, aka reality. I'm not ashamed, because I have learned through reading about #science that your brain and mine are wired this way. It helped humans survive.
I supported GOP policies in 2016 because I had no major concerns about the methods the party used at that time.
In 2021, I have deep concerns about those methods. They are a clear and present danger to the USA and inevitably to every country that's on Team USA, like NZ.

The GOP's total capitulation to TFG is why the GOP can't have nice things.
Consider for example how many of those who routinely vote GOP are not anti-vax nutcases or rabid anti-maskers. This group of people are smart and accomplished. Their only option rn is to walk away.

When GOP politician after politician sided with Covid against humans, they made a terrible mistake, for their party.
In other countries the relatively sane & smart majorities on the left & right have so far kept the lunatic #procovid fringe out on the fringe where they belong.

Without the cult goggles on, I now recognize the true nature of TFG & therefore the utter stupidity of anyone in public life who's is still in his corner, after all that has played out in public so far.
His tactics are not working anymore. Not like they were in, say, 2017.

Biden's decision to waive executive privilege over 1/6 related evidence was a brilliant decision for the country. One of several made so far in his presidency.
Now we wait to see if TFG actually sues the NARA to keep them hidden. I am sure he is scared.
Good.
