The right are having a wonderful time trying to demonise her for her comments, despite her having explained the context - she'd just been hit by a motorcyclist at the time the loonytunes 'reporter' from Counterspin turned up & she has clarified her comment at the time & apologised to the PM.
That is sufficient.
We really do need to tackle the problem of violence, whoever is responsible & preferably soon, find ways of preventing it.
Yeah I suspect the white cis-male comment came out in the 'heightened state of emotion' simply because she was being targeted by one in the form of Mr/Ms Loonytunes. When you're staring one in the face who is presumably harassing you in some form or another, it's not a big leap...
Under the circumstances I don't see why politicians should be judged any differently from the rest of the population...
This world would be a perfect place if it wasn't for the people.
