United States /
The head of US diplomacy, Mike Pompeo, responded to critics abroad, and others such as the former president George W. Bush, Which they compared to United Statess with a “banana republic” after the intrusion of Donald Trump supporters into the Capitol.
“This slander reveals the misunderstanding about banana republics and democracy in the United States,” said Secretary of State and Trump’s great ally.
A number of foreign critics like former US President George W. Bush launched the analogy after a mob, set on fire shortly before by Donald Trump, stormed the Capitol and interrupted a Senate session certifying the victory of Joe Biden.
Pompeo added on Twitter that “in a banana republic the violence of the crowd determines the exercise of power. United States“Law enforcement officers crushed this violence so that the representatives of the town could exercise power in accordance with the law and the constitutional government.”
Bush on Wednesday pointed to the “irresponsible conduct” of members of his Republican Party as catalysts for the “insurrection.”
“This is how the results of an election are disputed in a banana republic, not in our democratic republic,” he added.
