Official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova. File photoMOSCOW, July 25 Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova commented in her Telegram channel on the words of former US Vice President Al Gore about «broken democracy» and the words of former US President Donald Trump about the existence of only two genders.
"Amazing. Gore is a Democrat. Trump is Republican. Both simultaneously declared two (revolutionary. — Approx. ed.) things for the United States: American democracy is destroyed, and there are only two sexes — male and female. They began to guess about something, probably", Zakharova noted.
Earlier in an interview with NBC, Gore, who served in the Bill Clinton administration, said that «public opinion is changing, and our democracy is broken.» He noted that in order to solve the climate crisis, «it is necessary to pay attention to the crisis with democracy.» According to Gore, for the same reason «it seems impossible for Congress to pass a ban on weapons of war, assault rifles, which are used to kill children in the classroom.» The ex-vice president added that «we have a minority government» and that «the situation is getting worse.» Trump said at a student conference in Florida that there are only two genders in the world — female and male. The audience greeted his words with loud applause.
