US Capitol attack like 9/11 but an assault from within, says Pelosi
Nancy Pelosi, House speaker of the US Congress, has likened the 6 January insurrection fomented by Donald Trump to 9/11, saying one had been an assault on US democracy from within and the other from the outside.
She also claimed the Republicans had been hijacked by a cult that believed neither in science or government, making it hard for the US to be governed.
Her remarks, made at a Chatham House seminar in London on Friday, arguably breach the semi-honoured rule for domestic political disputes to end at America’s waters edge.
Pelosi a strong defender of the Northern Ireland Good Friday agreement, repeated her warning of two years ago that anything that imperilled the agreement could mean the US Congress would not ratify a free trade deal with the UK.
