Statement responding to the January 6, 2020 riots at the U.S. Capitol building:

“What has happened in recent days is an example… See how futile and disastrous American democracy is. It lacks the necessary checks and this is how people like Trump get to power. How can elections give rise to a person so arrogant, criminal, crazy, and stupid, and let him run not only America, but the whole world, and control the fate of the world? This exposes the truth about American democracy, which they have tried to spread all over the world.”“Hezbollah chief: ‘Capitol storming revealed truth about US democracy’,” Jewish News Syndicate, January 12, 2021, https://www.jns.org/hezbollah-chief-capitol-storming-revealed-truth-about-us-democracy/.
