Fondlemens appointment has gone down well with the trumpeters……..
Lord Mandelson called an ‘absolute moron’ by Trump campaign chief
Chris LaCivita tells new UK ambassador to the US to ‘stay home’ after he called president-elect a ‘danger to the world’
Donald Trump’s campaign manager has called Lord Mandelson an “absolute moron” and said he should “stay home” after the Labour peer was announced as the UK’s next ambassador to Washington.
Chris LaCivita, who masterminded Mr Trump’s presidential bid earlier this year, hit back at Sir Keir Starmer’s choice for the role and praised the incumbent, Dame Karen Pierce.
“This UK government is special,” he said. “Replace a professional universally respected ambo with an absolute moron - he should stay home! Sad!”
Mr LaCivita made the comments on X, formerly Twitter, sharing an article by The Telegraph reporting Lord Mandelson’s previous comments about Mr Trump.
In an interview with an Italian journalist in 2019, unearthed by this newspaper, Lord Mandelson described the president-elect as a “danger to the world” and “little short of a white nationalist and racist”.
He is the latest Labour official to be caught out by historic comments about Mr Trump, after David Lammy, the Foreign Secretary, was forced to row back on his previous statement that the Republican was a “neo-Nazi sympathiser”.
