Hillary Clinton: Boris Johnson, Trump are both ‘blowhards’

Hillary Clinton has ripped British Prime Minister Boris Johnson as a “grandstander” and “blowhard” who’s “very full of himself,” according to a report.

She compared the British Prime Minister to President Trump, saying both men use the “playbook of wannabe authoritarians” and have shown a “total disregard for facts,” in an interview with the Sunday Times of London’s magazine.

“I thought he was a grandstander,” said Clinton, recalling her having met Johnson when he was the mayor of London.  “I knew Trump [before he became president] and I thought the same thing. A kind of blowhard, a blustering guy.”

Clinton, 71, scoffed at Johnson pitching himself as the hero in the drive for Brexit, the champion of the people against parliament.

“Well, then I fear for your country. If anyone says he’s a hero to anyone other than himself, I really worry.”

Johnson isn’t a fan of Clinton’s.

In a 2007 article, he compared her to “a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital.”
