Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sparred with Czech Deputy Prime Minister Petr Macinka on Monday at the Munich Security Conference over their views on President Trump’s policies.
Clinton railed against Trump’s betrayal of traditional Western values and institutions, while Macinka, the leader of a right-wing party, framed Trump’s moves as a correction to liberal overreach.
“He has betrayed the West, he’s betrayed human values, he’s betrayed the NATO charter, the Atlantic Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a lot of what has been done before to try to make sense of how difficult it is to restrain people who want unaccountable power,” Clinton said on the panel.
“And none of us in this room, including all of us on this panel, would choose to live under a regime that was so unaccountable that it could act with impunity the way that Putin does, except that’s who Trump is modeling himself as,” she added.
Macinka responded, saying, “First, I think you really don’t like him.”
