Attacks London mayor Sadiq Khan hours after London Bridge terror attack

Hours after a vehicle-and-knife attack on London Bridge and Borough Market killed eight people, Trump tweeted an attack on London Mayor Sadiq Khan, writing that the mayor said there was 'no reason to be alarmed.' Khan's remark, delivered before the death toll was final, referred to the increased armed police presence Londoners would see, not to the attack itself. When Khan's office noted the mischaracterization, Trump escalated the next day, calling it a 'Pathetic excuse.' PolitiFact rated Trump's characterization False, finding he had stripped Khan's words of their context. Critics noted Trump singled out London's first Muslim mayor for attack in the immediate aftermath of a terror attack.
