Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley left viewers upset and angry after he asked why rape was reportedly being used as a weapon of war in Ukraine. Richard Madeley sparked outrage with Good Morning Britain viewers after he and ITV co-host Kate Garraway discussed the latest claims Russian troops have used rape as a "weapon of war" against Ukrainian civilians.
The pair were joined by former senior British advisor to US central command, Chip Chapman, who gave his view on the claims. But shortly into the piece, Madeley asked their guest: "Chip, we've said something that was widely reported this morning that rape was used as a weapon of war. How exactly is rape a weapon of war?"
"It's trying to impose some sort of will on the enemy as I mentioned in Second World War times," Chapman replied. "It is absolutely horrific and if you've got compromised morality and unchecked par with those with weapons you have a lethal combination of the future. It is absolutely disgraceful and people need to be held to account."
