Western countries should do more than just talk about democratic values, they must live them, US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said on Monday when asked about the court ruling against Le Pen.
"We also will recall though the vice president's February 14 remarks at the Munich Security Conference in defense of free speech as well as opposition to exclusion of people from the political process. We have got to do more as the West than just talk about democratic values. We must live them. Exclusion of people from the political process is particularly concerning, given the aggressive and corrupt lawfare waged against President [Donald] Trump here in the United States," Bruce told reporters.
