UK PM hopefuls slam Trump tweets, but refuse to call them racist.

The two candidates vying to become Britain's next prime minister both condemned on Monday US President Donald Trump's xenophobic tweets about progressive Democrat congresswomen as"totally offensive" and"totally unacceptable".

May's spokesman had earlier said that the outgoing leader's view was that Trump's comments were"completely unacceptable". Pressed to call the comments racist, Hunt signalled that he would have were he not Britain's chief diplomat. "I can understand how many people of this country would want me to use those words, and would feel that sentiment," he added.
