Dame Margaret Beckett, British Foreign Secretary between 2005 and 2007

"This is a vile and horrible man who has fought a vile and horrible campaign."

“I’m not just talking about the way he treated Hillary Clinton. Look at the way he treated his opponents in the Republican primaries - he insulted them, he sneered at them, he told lies about them, he insulted their families. This is a horrible man.”

“I have a seen a lot of bluster, a lot of bombast, a lot of unpleasantness. He has appealed to the worst in everybody’s nature and brought it out and encouraged it."

“This is a man who, when someone heckled at a rally, called on his supporters to beat him up. He called for Hillary Clinton to have her security guard taken away."

“He even insinuated that people who didn’t agree with her about gun control should perhaps think about shooting her. What kind of a man is that?”
