To the extent that he has been highly criticised for refusing to say that he would nuke innocent people (unlike May, who stated that she would do it without hesitation).
There appears to be an idea that any association with extreme / violent individuals MUST mean that the person is extreme or violent themselves... but it simply doesn't. There is no indication anywhere that Corbyn would ever condone or allow violent action. Anywhere.
If we're going to go down the route of making assumptions by simple association then - I'm sorry to say - we would have to apply the same to pretty much every high profile politician, making arms deals around the world and having champagne with warmongers.

I have never said, anywhere, that he is violent himself, but that he has supported those that are is out there for all to see. Except for those who refuse to see it.
