Senior advisor to United States President-elect Donald Trump's campaign that resulted in his successful return to the White House, Chris LaCivita, described on Friday British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's pick for the United Kingdom's ambassador across the pond, Lord Peter Mandelson (pictured), as an "absolute moron."
"This UK govt is special[;] replace a professional universally respected Ambo [Dame Karen Pierce] with an absolute moron – he should stay home! SAD! Mandelson described Trump as a danger to the world and 'little short of a white nationalist,'" LaCivita tweeted.
Throughout his political career, Lord Mandelson served as, among other positions, Minister without Portfolio and State Secretary for Northern Ireland under Prime Minister Tony Blair, European Trade Commissioner, and First Secretary of State under Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
