The Commons Speaker was lambasted by his House of Lords equivalent who revealed Mr Bercow had said sorry for not warning him before yesterday’s rant.
Mr Bercow vented he would “strongly oppose” an address from the US President when he comes to the UK on a state visit later this year.
He said he was against the Republican coming to Westminster Hall, accusing the Mr Trump of “racism and sexism”.
Although Mr Bercow won the applause of some MPs, the House of Lords Speaker, who also has a say on whether the President can visit Parliament, hit back at the remarks.
Lord Fowler said he had an “open mind” about accepting a request from Donald Trump to speak “if and when it’s made”.
As the Speaker is seen as an impartial and apolitical position, Lord Fowler argued it was “not my role” to argue for or against the idea.
