GB News host Bev Turner has slammed Lefties for "launching personal attacks" against President-elect Donald Trump.
The comments came shortly after Trump was officially confirmed as the next President of the United States.
While Prime Minister Keir Starmer congratulated Trump on his “historic election victory”, London Mayor Sadiq Khan issued a statement saying the result shows “progress is not inevitable.”
Other senior Labour figures have also made their feelings clear about the new President, with veteran Labour MP Emily Thornberry doubling-down on her description of Trump as a “racist, sexist predator.”
She added: "It's just personal abuse. It's all they have because they know how popular he is. They know that he doesn't really care what people think, he stands by his principles.
"He says what he believes in, what I found interesting watching him in the run up to this election is how much more humble he is, how much he's listening to other people.
"I watched the whole three hours that he did with Joe Rogan on the podcast, that was fascinating.
"I watched the whole three hours of JD Vance with Joe Rogan as well. A lot of this election, the results that we're seeing today is because of the alternative media space as well.

"That is what channels like CNN completely underestimated and I would say the BBC in this country."
At 78, Trump becomes the oldest person ever elected to the Oval Office and makes history as the first convicted criminal to win the White House.
The former President's return to power comes after Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July.
Harris was all but anointed as his successor in what became one of the shortest presidential contests in modern memory.
Trump's victory marks the first time a US President will serve non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland in the 19th century.

Trump secured his victory after winning the crucial swing state of Wisconsin, which pushed him over the required 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency.
"America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate," Trump declared to a roaring crowd of supporters in Florida early on Wednesday.
Harris' campaign co-chair, Cedric Richmond, briefly addressed supporters gathered at Howard University after midnight, stating that the Vice President would speak publicly later on Wednesday.
"We still have votes to count," Richmond said.
