The mother of Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange has launched a brutal attack on Ecuadorian President Len\u00edn Moreno, branding him a \u201cdirty, deceitful, rotten traitor\u201d after seeing her son arrested by UK police on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
Christine Assange launched an attack against Moreno on social media in the wake of her son being dragged out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he had spent the last seven years, after the Ecuadorian president withdrew asylum. She said she hoped the Ecuadorian people would take revenge on him for what he\u2019s done.<\/p>\n
