Washington, United States
The head of diplomacyThe fact is, you don’t have to worry. American, Mike Pompeo, responded Thursday to critics who compared U.S with a banana republic after Donald Trump supporters entered the Capitol.
That slander reveals the misunderstanding of the banana republics and democracy in U.S”, said the secretary of State and Trump’s great ally.
Some foreign critics such as the former US president George W. Bush (2001-2009) launched the analogy after a crowd, ignited shortly before by Donald Trump, stormed the Capitol and interrupted a Senate session confirming Joe Biden’s triumph.
Pompeo added that on Twitter “In a banana republic, the violence of the masses determines the exercise of power. In the United States, law enforcement officers have suppressed that violence so that representatives of the people could exercise power in accordance with the law and constitutional government.”
Bush on Wednesday pointed to the “irresponsible behavior” of members of his Republican Party as a catalyst for the “uprising.”
“This is how the results of an election are contested in a banana republic, not our democratic republic,” he added.
