The Green Party has accused Theresa May of being a coward for failing to condemn Donald Trump’s reaction to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia [1].
Jonathan Bartley, Green Party co-leader, said:
“Theresa May’s failure to condemn Donald Trump’s abhorrent response to the violence in Charlottesville is not only embarrassing but dangerous. We cannot allow fascism to go unchecked.
“Trump’s press conference was a revolting display of hatred legitimised. His attempt to smear the people who stood up to Nazis as violent protesters was shameful. They should be applauded for fighting fascism where the prime minister and the president of the United States have failed to make a stand.
“Now is not the time for hand-holding. Theresa May must stop being cowardly and show zero tolerance for bigotry. Her silence makes her complicit.”
