The Ilhan Omar story has been in the news here a pretty fair amount. A lot of our right wing/conservative really love Trump and want Trumpism to spread down here so they bring up anything he's involved in or says and use it as an excuse to why he's right and we need to all follow his lead. We have a lot of fringe right wing crazies (like the shooter) and they've gotten very emboldened by Trump and the American Republicans.

You're in Australia, right? That's a shame. 

 

Thinking about that post that I made, I probably shouldn't have made a generalization about New Zealanders, in general but keep it to those who were directly affected by the mosque attacks on Friday.  Most likely, right now they have far pressing concerns on their minds, like burying their dead.

It just reminded me about how just days after 9/11 many in the U.S. were already beating the war drums and most New Yorkers (myself included) were just concerned about how we were going to pull our daily lives back together into something that resembled a normal routine.

I hear people talk all the time about how right wing the BBC is and how they are desperately attempting to stay in line with the Tories above all else. Moments like this, where they harass the speaker of the House of Commons and openly brag about it, don't disprove that point. 

 

Good luck with any of those morons if they tried this with Nancy Pelosi.
