London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the UK should cancel a planned state visit by President Trump after he attacked Khan’s response to the weekend terror attack. “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,” Khan said on Britain’ s Channel 4 News Monday night. “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.” Trump has criticized the mayor for using the phrase “no reason to be alarmed” after the attack. Khan said Sunday, “Londoners will see an increased police presence today . . . There’s no reason to be alarmed.” Trump, misinterpreting Khan, tweeted, “At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is ‘no reason to be alarmed!’ ” After a Khan spokesman said the remark was taken out of context, Trump doubled down, tweeting Monday, “Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan.” Poster Comment: The election of a Muslim for mayor of London was a stupendously imbecilic act by those Brits having a death wish.
