 making us out to be a bunch of racists.' No, you c’mon Trevor… there was no ‘backlash’ in UK to @RishiSunak becoming PM because of his heritage. You made that up to create a racism narrative that simply didn’t happe){kind=link}
Piers Morgan and Trevor Noah have found themselves in a Twitter spat after the US talk show host said there was ‘racist backlash’ in the UK to Rishi Sunak becoming Prime Minister.
In a recent episode of The Daily Show, aired as Mr Sunak became Prime Minister after Penny Mordaunt dropped out following Liz Truss’ 45 days as leader, host Noah questioned the ‘backlash’ he had apparently seen.
‘Seeing the backlash is one of the more telling things about how people view the role that they – or their people – have played in history,’ he told audiences.
‘You hear a lot of people saying: “Oh they’re taking over, Indians are going to take over Great Britain and what’s next?”, and I’ve always found myself going: “So what? What are you afraid of?”
His comments didn’t go down too well in the UK, with some accusing him of ‘inventing’ racial backlash towards Mr Sunak, and Uncensored host Morgan among those voicing his frustration.
