Turkey's presidential spokesman responded Thursday to remarks by conservative American Steve Bannon who disrespected the Turkish leader.
Ibrahim Kalın said the hatred against President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is because he defends the oppressed and exposes racism.
"Steve Bannon, the new guru of the racist and extremist movements in the West, calls President Erdoğan 'the most dangerous guy in the world' while preaching hatred & warmongering," Kalın wrote on Twitter. "Why? Because Erdoğan unmasks their racist hypocrisy & defends the oppressed."
Bannon, a former special adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, made the comments during a forum.
