Sack Marama Davidson!

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...

As I said those in that situation tend to tell what they actually feel.  The questioning by the Counterspin person is a red herring because she never answered the question put to her - she just went off on what was quite a rant.

I would put no more stock in the truthiness of a statement from highly emotive states or drunkenness than I would normally.   Sometimes people just say shit in the highly emotional or drunken states just to hurt the other person...  

what you're suggesting 'could' be the case if she is speaking the truth, but you and I can never know that so it is unfair to make blanket assumptions.
