British MP: Trump Will Go Down in History as the Only Politician Condemned for Keeping His Promises
(CNSNews.com) - In an extraordinary session on Monday, British lawmakers debated a petition to deny U.S. President Donald Trump an official state visit to the United Kingdom.
British Prime Minister Theresa May is standing by the invitation she issued to Trump during her January 27 visit to the White House, despite a petition signed by 1.8 million people. That petition says Trump should be allowed to enter the U.K. in his capacity as head of state, but he should not be accorded the honor of a state visit.
State visit opponents, led by members of the Labor Party, said it would embarrass the queen to receive Trump, a man who once bragged about grabbing women by the genitals.
But in defense of Trump's State Visit, Conservative Party lawmaker Nigel Evans noted that the American political and entertainment elite "sneered" at the notion of Trump becoming president, but 61 million Americans -- "the forgotten people" -- felt otherwise and put Trump in office.
