Such an analogy was seen by a number of overseas critics and former US President George W. Bush, the riots stoked by President Donald Trump during a session of Congress that ultimately confirmed the victory of President-elect Joe Biden.
“This slander shows a misconception of the banana republics and democracy in the United States,” said Trump, a staunch supporter of American diplomacy.
He spoke of the violence on Wednesday following the resignation of two other members of the government.
“In Banana Republic, mass violence is propelling the government. In the United States, law enforcement officials are suppressing mass violence so that people’s representatives can rule in accordance with the rule of law and constitutional government.” Pompeo wrote on Twitter.
In a statement Wednesday, Bush criticized the “reckless behavior” of some members of the Republican Party, to which he belongs, in inciting the “rebellion.”
“In this way, the election results are being questioned in some banana republic, not in our democratic republic,” Bush said.
