Rejected petition Parliament should request John Bercow publicly apologize for his Trump remarks

John Bercow publicly insulted Trump and said he was "strongly opposed to an address by President Trump in Westminster Hall".

His comments are embarrassing to the British people and also in breech of parliamentary rules as he should remain impartial.

The people deserve a public apology.
