West Palm Beach, Florida (CNN)A senior National Security Council adviser was reassigned to his old job at the National Defense University, a White House spokeswoman confirmed Sunday, after he criticized the Trump administration's Latin American policies.
Craig Deare was removed from his role as a senior adviser at the National Security Council's Western Hemisphere division Friday and "sent back to his original position," said Sarah Sanders, a White House spokeswoman. Deare had been assigned to the NSC by the Trump administration.
Deare reportedly knocked the Trump administration's handling of Latin American policies during a speech at The Wilson Center Thursday in Washington. He also criticized overall White House dysfunction, Politico reported based on a source.
CNN could not independently confirm the account, and Deare did not respond to a request for comment.
Fielding questions about Deare's reassignment, Sanders said that people who don't agree with President Donald Trump should not have a job in his White House.
"I don't think that any person that is there in order to carry out the President's agenda should be against the President's agenda," Sanders said during a briefing with reporters in West Palm Beach, Florida. "It seems pretty silly that you would have someone who is not supportive of what you are trying to accomplish there to carry out that very thing."

This sounds more and more like a budding dictatorship every day. You either agree with Trump or lose your position.

(3,827 posts)5. The Daily Mail has a different take on Deare's firing.
Donald Trump, 70, reportedly decided to fire a senior administration official after he supposedly made awkward comments about his daughter Ivanka Trump, 35, at a private event. Craig Deare was escorted out of the Executive Office Building in Washington on Feb. 17, after also criticizing the presidents policies and discussing the dysfunction in the White House, according to the DailyMail. Only one month ago, Donald appointed him to head the National Security Councils Western Hemisphere division, but things clearly didnt work out.
