London Mayor Sadiq Khan has Sadiq Khan former president Donald Trump a “racist, sexist homophobe,” urging party leaders to “call him out.”
Speaking with Politico, Khan said, “I’m quite clear, I understand on Trump… He’s a racist.”
“He’s a sexist. He’s a homophobe.”
“And it’s very important, particularly when you’ve got a special relationship, that you treat them as a best mate.”
“If my best mate was a racist, or a sexist or a homophobe, I’d call him out and I’d explain to him why those views are wrong.”
Khan also expressed concern about Trump’s return to the White House, stating, “You know, I’ve been speaking to governors from America.
“I’ve been speaking to mayors from America. Of course, we’ll have a relationship whoever the president is. But we shouldn’t be literally rolling out a red carpet for a state visit.”
So, while London is inundated with unprecedented knife crime, Khan is more concerned about what is happening in the U.S. and has even reached out to Governors in various states.
“It’s really important that we of course, have good relations with Democrats and Republicans. But I lost count of the amount of Republicans I’ve spoken to who are also worried about a Trump presidency,” Khan added.
Khan is dangerous, a far-left position who has a history of turning a blind eye to street violence on his watch.

He must not be allowed to use social media to preach hate and further fuel the politics of division.

Earlier this month, Khan was re-elected for a third term as London Mayor.
Yahoo reported: Khan’s aides described it as a “landslide win” and said he had claimed 44 per cent of the vote – up on 40 per cent in 2021.
By comparison, Ms Hall won fewer votes than her Tory predecessor Shaun Bailey achieved in 2021.
Khan becomes the first London mayor to win a third term of office, which will see him in power at City Hall until 2028.
He said it was a “difficult few months,” adding he has faced with a “campaign of non-stop negativity” that included “fear-mongering,” “hate,” and “hard-Right wing populism.”
“We faced a campaign of non-stop negativity, but I couldn’t be more proud that we answered the fear mongering with facts, hate with hope, and attempts to divide with efforts to unite.
“We ran a campaign that was in keeping with the spirit and values of this great city, a city that regards our diversity not as a weakness, but as an almighty strength – and one that rejects right hard-wing populism and looks forward, not back.
“It’s truly an honour to be re-elected for a third term, and do so with a record level of support from Londoners, with an increased margin of victory.”
