Trump took Londons Muslim mayors no reason to be alarmed statement out of context in Twitter att

Source: Raw Story



President Donald Trump’s attack on London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who happens to be Muslim, was likely based upon a BBC interview where the mayor reassured the public about a larger police presence — not to ignore the threat of homegrown terrorists.

Sunday morning, Trump took a shot at Khan on Twitter following the attacks in London that claimed seven lives.

“At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is ‘no reason to be alarmed!'” Trump wrote.

The “no reason to be alarmed” quote appears to be taken from a BBC interview where Khan talked about beefed-up security measures on the streets of London.

“Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days,” Khan said in the interview.
