The Hill reports:
Sen. Tim Scott on Sunday dismissed former President Trump’s recent remarks on NATO and his silence on the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, instead touting that he believed the former president made the world “safer” during his White House term.
Pressed on Sunday by CNN’s “State of the Union” anchor Jake Tapper on why Trump has not weighed in on the death of Navalny, Scott said, “I think a better question, really, is let’s look at the middle. Let’s look at the middle of the challenges that we face today across the globe.”
“You look at the actions and the administration of Donald Trump and you come to one clear conclusion that without question, Ukraine was safer, the world was safer, and America was certainly safer,” Scott added. Tapper pressed this argument and contended Navalny was not “safer,” when he died in prison on Friday.
