London Mayor Sadiq Khan was asked on Thursday morning for a response to a tweet sent out by Donald Trump Jr. the day before. Don Jr. posted an old article about Mayor Khan on his social media pages on Wednesday, hours after Khan’s city was victim to a terrorist attack committed by a man that ISIS says was a sympathizer to their cause.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!” Don Jr. wrote.

The article in question quoted Mayor Khan after a terror incident in New York City. Khan said that dealing with terror attacks were “part and parcel of living in a big city.” 

When asked to respond to the tweet, Mayor Khan told CNN that he has more important things to do.

“I’m not going to respond to a tweet from Donald Trump Jr.,” Khan said. “I’ve been doing far more important things over the last 24 hours.”

The relationship between Khan and the Trumps has never been a frosty one. President Donald Trump once challenged Khan to an IQ test, and Khan has been very critical of Trump’s policies.

After Trump announced the first installment of his immigration ban, Khan, who is Muslim, stated that he would stand in solidarity with his friends and family who may not be able to travel to the United States.

“This isn’t just about me,” he said at the time. “It’s about my friends, my family, and everyone who comes from a background similar to mine, anywhere in the world.”
