Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt have both refused to criticise Donald Trump after he used racist language to attack Democratic congresswomen on Sunday. Both candidates, however, agreed with the outgoing PM Theresa May that the language used was unacceptable.
Bit rich coming from Boris Johnson
TheRodCooper Well there you go....neither of these twats are worthy of being PM.
As it would achieve nothing other than make future dealings with an important allied nation more difficult.
Cowards! Shame...
How can people who promote hate condemn hate?
Both very good but BORIS STILL HAD THE EDGE. BORIS IS TOP DRAWER.
Vile twins.
Cowards
Even the leader of other countries are afraid of him. No one should have that much power. He need to be voted out.
Bc they agree with him
People refuse to condemn AOC for inspiring the terrorist who tried to murder border guards. Trump's tweets are more important?
The comments aren't racist. People of all races are free to leave if they hate the country
Boris is Trump’s poodle
They are of the same kind ...❗️
Why? As potential PM’s I want to know their stance - or is morality a difficult concept for them to grasp? We need ethics and morals ack in politics and business
Special Relationship🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸/🇬🇧! Note the dissymmetry with their attitudes to 🇪🇺
“Boys will be boys” I suppose is their Brexit motto 🤦🏻♂️
Which headline is it? Johnson and Hunt join criticism of Trump attacks on Democrats.
Gutless.
Both Boris and Hunt voted for the deal including the backstop. Now they don’t even want a time limited back stop, how can these be trusted Flip Floppers.
Ex Republican senator Jeff Flake on The World Tonight, yesterday ( 15 th] at 14 mins in: “I don’t want to go around attaching labels like this , it is enough to say it is offensive, it is vile and unbecoming of the holder of the President”
Conservatives Pathetic cowards
That's because the comments weren't racist.
Instead he misquoted Trump by saying he said 'send them back' which he never did unless I missed it. He said if they are so unhappy in USA & complaining so much then they should consider going back. Help their ancestors build their countries there instead of being so unpatriotic
They are in Trump's pocket.
Everything wrong with our country neatly packaged in one statement. It’s all the fault of Brexit.
So they are either racist or spineless.
Because, it wasn’t a racist remark, MSM taking it out of context yet again, if Obama said it, no one would be commenting
I seriously doubt the nice folks in the UK would like either of these spineless wanks to have any job with power over others.
Shame on them both: couple of kittens afraid of the big bad cat. Or racists themselves?
Gulp!
Nor should they
Absolutely right, wasnt racism, people jumping on the hate bandwaggon. Was a simple message,if you dont like it there,leave, its racist bcoz he mentioned 1 woman? Who married her own brother? All she does is slate america.trump is right.
Why is Trump's comments racist?
Pussies they are sponsore by the sun which is the same trash that murdock has here with faux news
😏
Just common sense you load of low-life media personal.
They denounced his comments in no uncertain terms. Their colour is not the focus. Lay off!!! If you are going to call it racial why not also call it misogynistic. You didn't call it that did you? BOYS!!
The spine(less) of British political leadership today.
Politicians are born liars! So afraid to speak & support truths for fear of harm to their political objectives!
I guess they haven't read that bit of history when the 'appeasement strategy' didn't work with the German Nazi party...
They have their own racial issues.
Both r the same substandard product with different packaging! Pity
At least our next leader will at least look to pretend to have a back bone..
So generally you will say that if a person defines an Englishman as a white man, they are being racist. Yet if Trump defines others previous nationalities negatively.. He is racist? Make your minds up you bell end of a paper, and your clueless readers.
Not good for Britain
Out for themselves - how has it come to this?
🤦🏼♀️🤬😬😨
Seems the Guardian are doing their best to wreck any potential trade deal between UK and US.
We’re going to have a PM who has failed in every cabinet position they’ve held. We know what to expect then I guess.
😵😵😵
So one of these men is going to take back control? Absolutely disgraceful to put it mildly. They can't stand up to the most vile current leader in the world . God help us all with the trade deal with our closest ally.
Weaklings
michikokakutani They're saying Mick Mulvaney is the Architect of Trump's domestic policy.
Conservatives are racists. I've tweeted before, that conservatives, have gone out and purchased knee pads, as they're going to be doing allot of sucking.
What do you expect of this pair of right wing clowns
Surprise surprise!
I'm very happy to call BoJos comments racist if that helps?
michikokakutani I'm sure that from Boris' perspective they're not racist in the least.
Afraid of loosing your paycheck?
michikokakutani Seems the story is more that they both called Trump’s comments totally unacceptable and disgusting even if they declined to explicitly call their country’s strongest ally’s president a racist. They clearly implied it.
Spineless weevils
michikokakutani As the descendant of Russian Jews, French, Circassian-Turks, and Lithuanians, (and of course native Britons) Mr. Johnson might want to be a little more open about what immigration brings to a nation. He's hoping it brings a prime minister!
Then both are racist as realDonaldTrump
michikokakutani And there it is.
realDonaldTrump is an arsehole and a racist. He will be jailed with his best friends and play pall Jeffrey Epstein the paedophile. Maybe his sick urge is what is making him separate children from their mothers. He is not worthy of being America's POTUS he has already lost.
President's poodles. 🐩🐩
Taken out of context as usual
Probably because they’re racists.
Racists stick together.
Both cowards.
“I have seen the future. The future is brown.”
His comments weren't racist unlike those who he attacked who have made racist comments.
Can someone explain why they refuse to call comments racist when it’s implied by their condemnation of his words? What is the exact thing they’re scared of?
Rule Britannia 😂🤣😂🤣😂!
Spineless piles of excrement. Both of them. As far as Trump is concerned, the Tories are Reek.
Of course it was racist!
wimps BritishDisgace
Gosh, they r both pathetic and weak. This symbolizes what the UK will have to do for trade deals after brexit.
What is the problem with calling a spade a spade - unless you are a Tory candidate for PM!!!😰😰😰
Does it really matter! A lot more important things to think about nearer home.
And this is our selection for PM. It’s like being left with the toffee penny or the peanut cracknell in a tin of Quality Street when you wear dentures and have a nut allergy.
And still no sight of UKLabour ! For how long can you keep your head in the sand?
Shame on both of you! If Blair was Bush's poodle, you'll be nothing but Trump's Staffordshire
Cowards
Nothing racist in Trumps tweet.
More common sense then khan
God bless Donald trump says it how he sees it
👍
Trap between rock & a hard place,Between a racist president or Euro partners.
I wonder why 🤔
CapitalismCool Good for them .
🤣🤣🤣Chomsky go back to Israel, all you black people go “back” to Liberia or someplace. I can imagine Native Americans are overjoyed waving goodbye at the Mayflower as it sails off back to where it came from.
BorisJohnson and Jeremy_Hunt 'Yes, it's bad, but we're happy for him to get away with it.' That is exactly what you both have said.
No comment, let it stand alone, it is unveiling
⤴️If you ever need to find Johnson and hunt, try looking up Trumps arse ⤴️
it’s almost like racism isn’t a phenomenon unique to the US
Clearly they are not statesmen nor are they leaders... yesmen, weak, and as Teresa May would say they are “not in the public interest”
British so-called leaders refusing to confront the racist and fascist leader of another nation... Is this modern appeasement policy or are they just in awe of their role model? RacistPresident RacistInChief
Why the hell shoujd they get trapped in a political quagmire when the GOP remain dumb, mute and blind?
😡😡😡
And there is a problem with Jeremy Corbyn because ...
Well done lads, a biscuit and a pat on the head for both of you.
Cowards
That’s painful.
Of course Boris is a Trump errand boy... but you'd think May In A Suit would pivot towards sanity...
Blair and Bush all over again...
Shocker
Of course they didn't. They're both angling for the 'special relationship'. Gutless wonders, both.
Because the comments aren’t racist....no matter how much the democrat media tries to brainwash you into believe it is.
Back bone of the country!!!
Let's face it, they have got history with Windrush, why are we surprised?
Don't bite the hand that will feed you after Brexit.
Unbelievable. They sink to new depths. ..and we thought that the Islamic hate was just the party membership..as per the recent poll. No, it's the leadership too. Both toxic and unfit to lead the country. Short prelude to a GM and conservative party becoming irrelevant
Then they are complicit in racism. Fact!
The gutless wonders of modern conservatism.
Gutless, both of them, people should remember this when the general election arrives, they should be ashamed. BorisJohnson Jeremy_Hunt ...gutless.
What is wrong with people? The orange emperor has no clothes! Say something!
GammonSuk Should they require Trade_Deals they wouldn't dare contradict Trump
Can’t see that working out for them well. Trump only has 22% support in UK. (Obama meanwhile had 71%)
Bottling sycophants. Losers not leaders 💩💩
Proof. DonaldTrump’s lap dogs.
Any other world/European leader reacted?
Special relationship.....
Allies in racism, and war.
And are we surprised?
Sigh
WTF
WOW! Screw you England. And you have a 1/2 black princess.
You can't take it back. He know's he's on watch.
Bend over, fellas. Here it comes again.
Well, they certainly know their demographic.
We live in bold and brave times - I’m sorry I meant horrific and shameful times
