In Westminster, Labour MP Stephen Doughty, who had tabled an urgent question to Rudd, said: “This is the president of the United States, sharing with millions inflammatory and divisive content, deliberately posted to sow hatred and division by, as the home secretary says, a convicted criminal who is facing further charges and who represents a vile fascist organisation seeking to spread hatred and violence in person and online. By sharing it, he is racist, incompetent or unthinking – or all three.”

Bradford West MP Naz Shah said: “Not only has the commander-in-tweet done this, but he has defended it, publicly chastising the British prime minister for her comments. Putting aside the question of a state visit, should he even be allowed to enter our country?”
This was already covered somewhere on this board. It comes off very sympathetic to these Nazis. Wasn’t this the one that had an apology attached to it or was it a different one.
You’re right. I feel like I read them around the same time so I mixed them up. I wasn’t very happy with this tone either. It reads as if everyone who has a hard time and tries to find themselves in the world will just fall into Nazism as if there is no other choice which isn’t really true…
Man, reading that, I couldn’t help thinking of the Gerald Kersh quote:
“There are men whom one hates until a certain moment when one sees, through a chink in their armour, the writhing of something nailed down and in torment.”
