No wonder Bercow is a Trump expert
DONALD TRUMP’S incitement of the assault on US democracy that left five dead in Washington has drawn a range of comments from friends and foes this side of the pond. While Nigel Farage called the storming of Capitol Hill ‘wrong’, he described the rioting mob merely as ‘ protesters’. Quite a contrast to his tweets on a peaceful BLM march in London, which Farage branded as ‘terrifying’ and a ‘paramilitarystyle force’ from a protest group he later likened to the Taliban.
Meanwhile, John Bercow called Trump ‘narcissistic, obsessed with himself, utterly disrespectful of anybody who holds an opinion that differs from his own, and inclined ultimately to turn on everybody’.
The former Commons Speaker is an expert on all those things.
