MSP Maggie Chapman informed The National the Trump administration welcoming Robinson would be “deeply worrying”.
She said: “This is a guy that has built his profile on division, racism and Islamophobia, and whose national politics are rooted in the most disgusting hatred and fascism, so it’s probably not a surprise that Donald Trump’s White House are among his followers.
