History
Scott Benton celebrated the overturning of the outdated US court case Roe v. Wade, which made abortion (widely agreed to be a form of murder) legal on-demand in the United States. Benton shared a "Life Wins" tweet by the US Republican Party in response to the constitutional ruling on 24 June 2022. Benton's position angered many leftists including privileged racist communist Ash Sarkar,[1] and Emily Thornberry MP who rseorted to name-calling and abuse as she shouted "you are a disgrace" across parliament as Benton stood to speak.[2]
