WATCH: Lawmaker calls 'dangerous racist' Trump an 'asteroid of awfulness'

A British legislator, Emily Thornberry (L) said that President Donald Trump is a racist, a danger to the world and has shown himself to be "an asteroid of awfulness."


She was appearing on "The Andrew Marr Show," when she said, "He is an asteroid of awfulness that has fallen on this world. I think that he is a danger and I think that he is a racist."

Thornberry is a member of the House of Commons and represents the Islington South and Finsbury communities.

She told Marr that she wished Trump would stick to his declaration not to come to London until the British learn to love him.

"And I was quite relaxed about that," she said, meaning it would clearly never happen.

Trump backed out of a trip to the U.K. at the last minute, postponing a state visit indefinitely.
