Mayor of London Sadiq Khan opened up about the simmering fear he has felt over the last four years of Donald Trump’s presidency, dubbing his views on LGBT+ rights “deplorable”.
In a tweet posted Thursday afternoon (7 January), Khan expanded upon an interview he did earlier that day with the radio station LBC, discussing the chaotic scenes of an extreme, white supremacist mob tearing through Capitol Hill, Washington DC, the day prior.
“Donald Trump showed us who he was some years ago,” Khan said, “with his deplorable views on race, women, LGBTQ+ rights and much more – and I’m proud to have called him out on it.”

In stirring speech, Pete Buttigieg makes history again for LGBTQ Americans as first gay cabinet nominee Marc Ramirez, USA TODAY UP NEXT
Nearly a year ago in Des Moines, Pete Buttigieg hugged his husband onstage after his win in the Iowa caucuses made him the first openly LGBTQ candidate to earn delegates toward a major political party’s presidential nomination.
Now, he’s making history again as the first openly gay man to be nominated to a Cabinet role, with President-elect Joe Biden tapping Buttigieg this week as his pick for U.S. Transportation secretary.
As Buttigieg accepted the nomination Wednesday afternoon, he recalled how as a 17 year old in Indiana, he watched the experience of James Hormel, who President Bill Clinton nominated as ambassador to Luxembourg in 1998 an appointment Senate Republicans balked at for two years in protest.
