In the United States, politicians and those who disagree with Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election are equated with terrorists. This was stated by the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, RIA Novosti quoted her words.
Zakharova condemned the cruelty of American justice in relation to its own citizens involved in politics. In particular, she recalled the persecution by the American authorities of people who were accused of involvement in Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections. The Foreign Ministry spokeswoman stressed that no real evidence of Moscow’s interference was provided.
The diplomat noted that the apotheosis was the persecution of participants in the riots in the Capitol and those who disagree with Joe Biden’s victory, as well as equating them with “internal terrorists”. “How do you like this? Just a new term has been invented to designate those very public and political figures who are going against the mainstream,” Zakharova said.
Earlier in February, Biden said that white racists are the main terrorist threat within the country. The politician stressed that supporters of the theories of racial superiority are “mentally ill and dangerous people.”
The storming of the US Capitol took place on January 6 during a rally of supporters of former US President Donald Trump, who do not recognize the results of the November vote, which resulted in the election of Democrat Joe Biden as president. The rallies led to clashes with the police. Five people died, dozens were detained.
