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, her words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
Zakharova condemned the cruelty of American justice towards 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 did not agree with Joe Biden's victory, as well as equating them with “internal terrorists”. “How do you like that? 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 inside the country. The politician stressed that supporters of 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. The rallies led to clashes with the police. Five people died, dozens were detained.
