‘Sadist’ Hillary hoo-hah

-

THE New York trade trip in February 2015 was marred too after remarks Johnson made about Hillary Clinton were dragged up.

In an article in 2007, he likened Mrs Clinton to a “sadistic nurse in a mental hospital” and said she represente­d “everything I came into politics to oppose” – including an “all-round purse-lipped political correctnes­s”.

He said he’d like her to win the 2016 presidenti­al race so husband Bill could be back in the White House. On seeing Mr Johnson, Mrs Clinton quipped: “Oh my goodness. Is he announcing for President?” She fixed him with her steely eyes and welcomed him. Asked later he said: “She was extremely kind and gracious.”
