Washington, United States
The head of diplomacy(…) american, Mike Pompeo, respond on Thursday to critics who compared to United States with a banana republic after the intrusion of Donald Trump supporters into the Chapters.
“This slander reveals the misunderstanding about banana republics and democracy in United States “, said the secretary of state and Trump’s great ally.
A number of foreign critics like the former US president George W. Bush (2001-2009) 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 to Twitter that “In a banana republic the violence of the crowd determines the exercise of power. In the United States, law enforcement officers crushed this violence for village representatives to exercise power in accordance with the law and 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.
