MacGregor is conservative in many ways and was a Trump appointment, however he’s a little nutty on Russia:
In 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea and was engaged in a conflict with Ukraine over its eastern parts, Macgregor appeared on Russian state-owned network RT where he called for the annexation of the Donbas and said residents of the region “are in fact Russians, not Ukrainians, and at the same time, you have Ukrainians in the west and in the north, who are not Russians.”[19][34]
You must know the history of what has occurred in those areas, eh? I agree with him.
