denunciation

Mr. Wright keeps tossing in would-be funny denunciations of the moneyed elites that are about as spicy as a bowl of sour cream.

Cicero’s rhetoric would be echoed centuries later by Edmund Burke, who invoked Verres in his denunciation of Warren Hastings, the British governor general of India who was impeached for corruption in 1787.

Gone are the fiery denunciations from just a few weeks ago attacking American imperialism and touting his courage.

Those denunciations came before investigators had offered any explanation for the attack.

Later in the evening, Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted a fiercely worded denunciation on social media.
