The statement makes President Bukele the “first world leader to condemn Joe Biden’s fascist moves to keep his opponent off the ballot,” wrote former U.S. Ambassador Richard Grenell.
America First Legal agreed with Bukele’s statement, sharing, “Exactly right. Which is one of many reasons why we must all collectively fight to see that it is overturned. This cannot stand.”
“We’re a constitutional republic, not a democracy,” wrote Utah Senator Mike Lee (R). “The Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling is compatible with neither form of government.”
