Khan Criticizes Sunak for Not Condemning Tory MP's Anti-Muslim Remarks
- Sadiq Khan criticized PM Rishi Sunak for not condemning Lee Anderson's "anti-Muslim hatred" remarks about Khan being controlled by "Islamists"
- Anderson made the controversial remarks on GB News; some Tories condemned them but Sunak's cabinet has largely stayed silent
- Khan said the silence "condones racism" and there's a "hierarchy" to how racism is treated
- Labour called for Anderson to lose the Tory whip over the remarks
- Former Tory chair said Sunak should have denounced comments and considered removing Anderson's whip; says it shows the party's deterioration
