Birmingham MP Jess Phillips has mocked a foul-mouthed º£½ÇÊÓƵIP candidate after he described her as "a massive bitch".
Carl Benjamin, also known as Sargon of Akkadd, made the comment at the official press conference to launch º£½ÇÊÓƵIP's European election campaign.
He was on stage with º£½ÇÊÓƵIP leader Gerard Batten.
Mr Benjamin was asked by Sky News reporter Kate McCann about his behaviour in May 2016, when he sent a sick Twitter message to Ms Phillips, Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley, telling her: "I wouldn't even rape you".
Asked to justify this, he told the press conference Ms Phillips was being "a massive bitch."
Mr Batten then added: "I don't condone a joke or a remark made by somebody three years ago on Twitter,.
"Now if you held everybody to account for every remark they've ever made in their life which was stupid, un-thought out, uncondonable, there wouldn't be any journalists in this room, would there?"
Ms Phillips dismissed the comment, saying on Twitter: "Massive bitch aka feminist woman you can't control. Diddums."
Also on the stage was º£½ÇÊÓƵIP activist Mark Meechan, known online as Count Dankula, who was convicted and fined £800 after posting a YouTube video showing his girlfriend's dog performing a Nazi-style salute.
The pug dog responded with a salute to statements such as "gas the Jews" and "Seig Heil."
º£½ÇÊÓƵIP won 26% of the vote in the 2014 European elections in the º£½ÇÊÓƵ, more than any other party. However, it is expected to struggle this time, partly because former leader Nigel Farage has now formed a new Brexit Party which is also standing in the European elections.
