Last week, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs hosted London’s newly elected mayor, Sadiq Khan, the city’s first Muslim to hold that office. It was his first official visit to the United States. To engage the audience, the CCGA allowed the public to pose questions online and vote on them. The moderator would ask Khan the questions that received the most votes. But apparently there are some questions that it’s just not polite to ask. Specifically, regarding the notorious Rotherham sex ring scandal.
It came to The Federalist’s attention that someone submitted the following question to the CCGA’s online Q&A for Khan: “What’s your opinion about the cover-up of racist rape gangs targeting white children in Rotherham??” Despite receiving the most votes, the Rotherham question mysteriously disappeared from the website.
