Canberra (IINA) – Australian Industry Minister Christopher Pyne on Thursday called Donald Trump’s campaign for the US presidency “terrifying” and warned it risked casting the Republican Party into the wilderness if he wins nomination, Reuters reported.
Pyne, a Cabinet member of the ruling conservative Liberal-National coalition, criticized the violence at recent Trump rallies and said that his rise was casting a pall over American democracy.
“Now, democracy should be robust but it certainly shouldn't be violent,” he said in an interview on Australia’s Channel 7 television network.
“And I think the Donald Trump phenomenon is a real problem for the United States, making their democracy look kind of weird,” he added.
The Republican frontrunner warned on Wednesday of riots if he was denied the party’s presidential nomination, only days after his supporters and protesters clashed at a rally for the Republican in Chicago that was later scrapped.
Donald Trump has vowed to deport 11 million illegal immigrants, temporarily ban Muslims from the U.S. and build a wall along the Mexican border if he is elected president.
