Cher slams Boris Johnson on Twitter

By Josh Lee

Gay icon, queen of fabulous wigs and political commentator Cher doesn’t mince her words when it comes to political figures, and while she’s usually focused on Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton, she took the time to offer her thoughts on former London Mayor and newly appointed Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson:

For those who don’t speak fluent Cher, the tweet roughly translates as “he’s a fucking idiot who lied to the British people and didn’t have the balls to lead them once the leave vote won the EU referendum”.

Boris Johnson shocked the nation when he discounted himself from the Conservative leadership race after his campaign to leave the EU was successful.

Cher followed up with talking about her love for the UK, saying that Britain has a “special place in my heart”, before showing off her mastery of our lingo by deploying a quintessentially British insult to both Boris Johnson and former UKIP leader Nigel Farage.
