On Tuesday, National Security Council official Fiona Hill testified that the right-wing narrative Ukraine colluded with Democrats to interfere in the 2016 election — rather than Russia working to help Donald Trump — is a “fictional narrative” and a piece of propaganda promoted by Russia.

One person was enraged at this testimony — John Solomon, the notorious right-wing reporter who covered Ukraine’s supposed interference in the 2016 election extensively. He fired off multiple angry tweets attacking Fiona Hill:

How dare Fiona Hill question my patriotism or suggest I was part of a Russian disinformation campaign without a single fact. My sources were all US officials or Ukrainian officials aligned against Russia. Her accusations must have made Joe McCarthy smile up from hell.

Fiona Hill suggested my Ukraine stories were Russian propaganda. If she’s such an expert she would know my main character Yuriy Lutsenko was a political prisoner of the Russian backed Yanukovych regime and the US pleaded for his release and applauded his appointment as prosecutor

Solomon has been a mainstay of the right-wing media sphere, appearing on Fox News and Circa, the former digital arm of Sinclair Broadcast Group, and most recently wrote for the centrist paper The Hill — all the while promoting pro-Trump narratives about everything from Ukraine to the Uranium One hoax. His reporting on Ukraine has been a point of contention in the impeachment hearings, and recently The Hill announced it was opening a review into his work.
