The British peer who referred to US vice president-elect Kamala Harris as the Indian has been condemned by Joe Bidens former special adviser.
Jon Wolfsthal, a former special adviser to the president-elect, said Lord Kilclooney should be ashamed of his racially-charged remark reminding the life peer that Ms Harris is American.
It comes as the Speaker of the House of Lords, Norman Fowler, demanded the peer apologise for tweeting: What happens if Biden moves on and the Indian becomes President.
The Speaker said: Lord Kilclooney should retract and apologise. This is an offensive way to refer to anyone, let alone a woman who has just made history. The comment is entirely unacceptable and has no place in British politics.
