Boris Johnson was accused of 'dog whistle racism' and likened to right-wing 'Tea Party' politicians in the US this morning after his attack on the 'part-Kenyan' Barack Obama.
The Mayor of London spoke out against the US President after he urged British voters to stay in the EU and mentioned his African ancestry as he criticised the decision to remove a bust of Sir Winston Churchill from the Oval Office shortly after Mr Obama entered the White House.
Mr Johnson - who is favourite to succeed David Cameron as Prime Minister - suggested the President got rid of the statue as a 'snub' to Britain's wartime prime minister and a 'symbol of the part-Kenyan President's ancestral dislike of the British empire'.
But Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell hit out at Mr Johnson and demanded he withdraw the controversial remarks.

Too white
A little late dontcha think?
Did I miss something!!!???
is Cameron gone?!?!
I think the chances are pretty good that the Queen will hit the Obamas with a zinger or two during their visit to the UK. After all, it’s HER birthday!
Perhaps Mr. Johnson didn't pick up on it when BHO sent Churchill's bust back the first day in the Oval Office?
Wasn’t Kenya under british colonial administration when zero was born?
Got to think british and Israeli intelligence know the truth whatever it is
Thou shalt not speak the truth, Boris. No one wants to hear it.
Remember that Obama sent back Churchill’s bust after he infected the White House. The bust was a gift from Tony Blair to Bush after 9/11. Class act, that Obama guy is.
Maybe she’ll give the obama’s an iPod loaded with her speeches
From what I understand, Prince Philip is the one who might do that. Either way, it might happen because of this and Mooch inviting herself to QE2’s birthday lunch. Like school in the summer time.
That, and his complete like of Islamic slavery that his tribe probably was part and parcel to.
Boris, you are a day late and a dollar short.
Yeah, where she talks about her “shtruggles” as a young African-American female and how all the white men would say sexist things to her when she went walking down her “shtreet”?
And had a picture of himself taken feet up on the desk in the Oval Office, soles of his shoes staring into the camera while he talked to Netanyahu. I do remember that.
Boris has it wrong. “100% Marxist” Obama definitely has a long-standing hatred of then entire Western Capitalist system.
In Dreams of My Father, or his other book, Obama writes of his father’s father being imprisoned and beaten by the British, after which, he, the grandfather, previously a British loyalist, rejected Britain and converted to Islam.
It was an important part of the family narrative to Obama, so I’d say Johnson is on to something, however inelegantly he phrased it.
He has made a news movie since getting out of prison... about Hillary, due out this Summer.
The truth is definitely known but won’t be exposed until he writes his unmasked autobiography and moves to a land where he is untouchable.
His father and grandfather of course had nothing to do with the mau mau violence and was imprisoned and tortured by the British for jaywalking
And Rahm Emmanuel’s uncle was hanged by the British in Palestine for being a community activist
I wondered if it was obama or Rahmbo who got rid of the bust in such an insulting manner
The excellent historian Andrew Roberts (who is currently working on a biography of Churchill) is openly contemptuous about the content of ‘Dreams of my Father.’ Fantasies Of My Father and Grandfather would be a more accurate title. So much of the British/Mau Mau content is demonstrably false.
