LONDON, Feb 16 (Reuters) – Britain’s governing Conservative Party on Friday brushed off criticism of an attack video it posted on social media that misrepresented comments by a senior opposition politician to make it look like he was proud to be antisemitic.

In a television interview on Thursday, London Mayor Sadiq Khan said Labour was “proud to be both anti-racist but also antisemitic – I beg your pardon, tackling antisemitism.”

Later, the Conservative Party posted the clip on X without including the part where he clarified the comment. The caption said “Sadiq Khan says the quiet part out loud.”
