‘Don’t focus on the wrong thing,’ WH defends Trump despite ire in UK
 [PRESSTV] The White House is defending US President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s anti-Islam retweets, which have drawn rebuke in the UK, reviving calls for revoking his planned visit to Britannia. The widely condemned retweets of videos, posted by leader of the far-right organization Britannia First Jayda Fransen, purportedly showed violence committed by Moslems. "@realDonaldTrump you are not welcome in my country and my city," said Labour Party politician David Lammy in a tweet on Wednesday, while another Labour politician, Chuka Umunna, said directly that Trump's invitation to visit Britannia "should be withdrawn." The office of British Prime Minister Theresa May also described Trump’s move as "wrong" but announced that the visit is not cancelled. "British people overwhelmingly reject the prejudiced rhetoric of the far right, which is the antithesis of the values that this country represents ‐ decency, tolerance and respect," read a statement by May’s office. "It is wrong for the president to have done this." Posted by: Fred 2017-11-30 |
