Butt hurt London Mayor Sadiq Khan: ‘Cancel President Donald Trump's State Visit'
[Breitbart London] London Mayor Sadiq Khan -- who has seen two terror attacks in the city since he took office in May 2016 -- has called for the state visit of U.S. President Donald Trump to be cancelled after the president slammed Khan for telling Londoners there is "no reason to be alarmed" following Saturday’s terror attack.

Mr. Khan made the comments on Channel 4 News, saying the president’s policies -- his proposed temporary travel ban on immigration from six Middle Eastern nations on grounds of securing the safety of American citizens -- "go[es] against everything we stand for".

"I don’t think we should roll out the red carpet to the president of the USA in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for," he said.

"When you have a special relationship it is no different from when you have got a close mate. You stand with them in times of adversity but you call them out when they are wrong. There are many things about which Donald Trump is wrong."

This is not the first time the London mayor has called for the offer of a state visit to be rescinded.

#3 The fact that London has a Muslim mayor is Exhibit A for just how far astray they've gone. Fuck that piece of shit.

#5 It's clear Khan's "don't be alarmed" comments were in regards to an increased police presence. Yet Breitbart still plays their usual contextual circle jerk. What a god awful publication.

#6 Yes, taken out of context. Where have we seen that before?

But hizzoner, the mayor, could've said, "I'm sorry, Mr. President. Perhaps you misunderstood."

That he took a more aggressive approach supports comments 1-3.

#7 Crusader, what is the Muslim population in London, as a percentage? Was he elected by Muslims or by Liberals desperate to prove they aren't racist.

#8 Wikipedia says 12% of London answered the 2011 Census as "Muslim".

#10 The possibility looms that if the Brits wont take out their own trash, someone else will and they wont care about collateral damage.

#11 Just 12% of the population. Damn. The Brits just gave away a major city, just so they could remain fashionable at dinner parties.

#12 Was he elected by Muslims or by Liberals desperate to prove they aren't racist.

Both. Another example of the power of and. Also, he was the Labour candidate, and positioned himself as a proper modern Progressive. Everyone had forgotten about his various defense attorney projects -- the soft jihad of the law.
