THE North Wiltshire MP have condemned the violent rioting seen at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
James Gray MP has condemned President Donald Trump and the shocking scenes of violence on Capitol Hill that ended with the deaths of four people and the arrests of more than 50 protestors.
He said: “It is simply inconceivable that in an advanced democracy thousands of thugs supporting the losing side should think it reasonable to invade Capitol Hill and seek to disrupt the smooth transition of power.
“What comfort it must be to corrupt dictatorships round the world to hear ‘The Leader of the Free World’ apparently incite his disappointed followers to seek to disrupt that very democratic process.
“By any standard of decent governance anywhere, it’s an absolute disgrace, and President Trump will leave office under a cloud of shame.”
