Abdul Shakoor Ezedi is still on the run after allegedly throwing an alkaline substance at a mother and two daughters
Ben Leo slammed Matthew Stadlen after he claimed that the media were "politicising" the alkaline attack that took place in Clapham earlier this week.
Abdul Shakoor Ezedi allegedly threw a corrosive alkaline substance at a 31-year-old woman and her two daughters.
The 35-year-old refugee suspected of carrying out Clapham's chemical attack is still on the run and today it has been revealed that he was granted asylum in the UK.
The convicted sex offender, who arrived illegally in the UK in the back of a lorry in 2016, was twice denied asylum.
However, GB News understands the Afghan's third asylum claim was approved after a priest provided a reference following his conversion.
Speaking on GB News broadcaster Matthew Stadlen said: "There is a developing media narrative, which seems to me to have been politicising this horrific act and the suffering of these victims.
"And that revolves around asylum seekers.
"I would just point out, before we're too quick to scapegoat asylum seekers, that in the year to March 2022, there were nearly 200,000 sexual offences in England and Wales.
"That doesn't even include Scotland or Northern Ireland. We have a crisis, an epidemic of male violence."
However, GB News host Ben Leo did not seem to agree and said: "This is one more case that wouldn't have happened if this man wasn't here. You're whitewashing the asylum problem by brushing it into the same brush as a wider problem of male violence against women."
