Asked about the violence in an interview with the Guardian, he said: “I can’t judge things of that enormity from where I am as mayor of Greater Manchester.”
I’m somewhat suspicious of the way the Guardian didn’t actually publish the interview itself, but just their journalist’s writeup of it. We’re not told what the question he answered actually was, just what it was “about”, and then the headline writers of the outlets quoting that quote take it a step further into implying that he’s a full-on genocide denier.
As usual, the far right Nazi sympathisers (in this case Nigel Farage) get a free pass for “leftist” single issue voters, just like Trump did and continues to do.
The irony is that Corbyn was laid low by trumped-up accusations of anti-semitism, it would be ironic if the press did the same to AB for (supposedly) taking the opposite side.
