Democratic Senator Ed Markey has described U.S. President Trump a scum, “fuelling” racism and hatred in America amid protests over the death of George Floyd.
Markey delivered the jab on Monday in a tweet.
“Donald trump is scum for fuelling racist hate and violence in our country”, the senator wrote.
In another tweet, he called Trump a liar and a racist who behaves like a dictator.
“He just tear gassed protesters for a photo op, endangering their health during a global pandemic. He must be stopped and we must stand with all those fighting for racial justice.”
“I stand in solidarity with the protestors in D.C. and across the country who will not be intimidated.”
Many Americans have criticised Trump over his attitude since protests began over the death of Floyd, an unarmed black man.
Floyd died in police custody in Minneapolis while handcuffed.
An officer, who was later fired and charged with murder, was seen on video of the arrest with his knee on Floyd’s neck for several minutes as Floyd pleads for help, saying “I can’t breathe’.
His last words have resonated across America and the world, provoking demos in many cities.
