In response to criticism for "Send the Mexicans home" comment, NZ MP Shane Jones declines to address comments; essentially says he can't hold malice towards Latin American people because he likes to fuck then
On Morning Report, Jones repeatedly declined to address his comments, saying Peters had addressed the matter as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the leader of New Zealand First.
"I bear no malice to any Latin American, I've had some of the most exciting nocturnal experiences with the Latin American people," he said.
That's it, that's the whole post. I just wanted to highlight this disgusting sexual comment somehow because the RNZ headline seriously buries the lede by on the comment about sharing tequila instead.
(currently the RNZ headline reads: Shane Jones willing to share 'shot of tequila' with Mexican Ambassador)
Feel free to take this down mods if it doesn't fit the sub
Edit: I acknowledge there is a slim possibility he innocently meant staying up and dancing, rather than sex, but... come on now. It's clearly intentionally ambiguous. He used taxpayer money for porn in the past, he's exhibited misogyny plenty of times before e.g. he called a women MP a "young flower" to dismiss her. He blamed "failed Pacific states" for NZ's drug issues, he said Indian students have ruined NZ universities, the list goes on. He clearly doesn't care about the way in which he says things or the harm that they cause.
The 'nocturnal activities' statement was made only two days after yelling to send Mexicans home, one day after saying a Mexico-born Green MP had been there five minutes and was bringing in alien ideas, one day after the Mexcian embassy got involved, directly after refusing to apologise for any of this. He should have been watching his language like a HAWK after the PM told him to, and yet, he isn't. I don't feel the public needs to do the PR work for him to grant him the benefit of the doubt
