EXCLUSIVE: Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young Did A ‘Mean Tweets’ Video And It’s Actually Super-Disturbing
"Fuckin' Communist. Fuck off and go live with the Muslims."
In the last few weeks, every politician from US President Barack Obama to NSW Premier Mike Baird has put together their own Jimmy Kimmel-style video where they read out mean tweets about themselves. Both those recent examples were pretty tame — Obama’s was actually done on Kimmel for real, while Baird’s was only really notable in that it breached copyright.
Now South Australian Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young has done a mean-tweets video of her own, but unlike the others it doesn’t hold back on airing the more mouth-breathy comments public figures — especially women — receive from comment trolls. There is something slightly surreal about watching a federal Senator read out messages telling her to go “suck people smuggler’s balls.”
The video’s titled “Part One,” meaning there’s another one coming in the pretty near future. Can’t wait to read the comments under that — no, wait, yes I can, they’re going to be horrifying.
