Pauline Hanson has slammed One Nation NSW leader Mark Latham over a ‘disgusting’ tweet

Pauline Hanson has slammed One Nation NSW leader Mark Latham over a ‘disgusting’ homophobic tweet he sent to a gay MP.

The senator posted a damning video to Facebook where she made it clear her party did not “condone” Mr Latham’s tweet.

Hanson added that she had tried to contact Mr Latham several times “without success”, and also called for him to make a public apology.

Her fiery video statement came after mr Latham deleted the “vile” tweet he had sent to Sydney member Alex Greenwich, who lashed out New South Wales The leader of one nation “as a disgusting human being.”

Responding to the gay MP on Thursday morning, Mr Latham wrote: ‘Disgusting? How does it compare to sticking a d*** up a bloke’s a*** and covering it up with an s***?’

Greenwich had criticized Latham after Christian Lives Matter and LGBTQI protesters violently clashed outside St Michaels Church in Belfield, in Sydney’s southwest, where he was speaking.

Three men were arrested over alleged attacks on Community Action for Rainbow Rights protesters that evening.

“Mark Latham is a disgusting human being and people considering voting for One Nation need to realize that they are voting for an extremely hateful and dangerous individual who risks doing a great deal of harm to our state,” Greenwich told a news conference. .

Many prominent political figures have criticized the one-state leader’s shocking reaction.

The intervention of his party leader, Ms Hanson, was absolutely shocking, and she said: ‘I am responding to comments made today by Mark Latham on social media.

I want you to know that I do not condone them, members of parliament or party members. I think they suck.

I’ve already tried ringing a sign several times, to no avail. And I clearly sent him a text, telling him my views.

I asked him to give people an apology. I’ll leave it at this. It is now up to Mark to respond to the people.

Penny Sharp, the NSW state senate president, said she had ‘become physically ill’ from the now-deleted tweet.

“Homophobia is not always acceptable and there is never an excuse,” she said.

Latham must apologize to Alex Greenwich at once.

Twitter users, including conservative commentator and former stalwart Heston Russell, have also condemned Mr Latham.

‘You can’t be serious – that’s absolutely pathetic,’ Russell wrote @realmarklatham – the real character is shown during crisis and fellow success, and it fails miserably.

Veteran 10 News correspondent Hugh Rementon tweeted: “Exceptional. This is One Nation NSW leader, Mark Latham, today referring to another elected politician who also happens to be gay.

“Mark Latham deleted these disgusting homophobic tweets without an apology or explanation (not that any apology would be genuine anyway),” refugee advocate Shane Pazzi said.

‘is this real?’ another Twitter user asked. Latham’s tweet was deleted about an hour later.

NSW Environment Minister Penny Sharp said Watchman She was “physically ill” from the comment and demanded that Latham apologize.

Veteran journalist Deborah Knight called the tweet “totally unacceptable” on her 2GB radio show.

“Mark Latham’s tweet is off the charts,” she said.

“I won’t repeat it, you can’t, what he wrote is something you’ll never say,”

Mark Latham needs to take a hard look in the mirror to post stuff like this.

Alex Greenwich declined to comment on Latham’s tweet when contacted by Daily Mail Australia. Latham has been contacted for comment.

The extraordinary announcement came on Twitter after up to 500 ‘Christian’ protesters violently clashed with LGBTQ activists last Tuesday, while Mr Latham gave a speech at a church.

The activists alleged that Christians of Matter had thrown stones and bottles at them. Police said the large crowd also threw glass bottles at the officers. One of the policemen was taken to Canterbury Hospital with injuries to his hand.

The horrific clash was captured on film and showed the Christian group shouting insults at the activists.

At one point, a man is seen throwing a punch into the crowd, only for it to connect to the back of the woman’s head.

Then he heard her screaming and crying as a friend wrapped his arm around her.

Latham said the police advised him not to speak that night.

If I hadn’t made my speech, going straight home would have allowed transgender protesters to negate free speech and democratic rights as an electoral candidate, things that are sacred to me and have been running for 35 years running in local and federal elections. And the state,” he said at the time.

I did not see what happened on the front street, but I sincerely convey my best wishes to the injured and thank the police officers involved for their work. No one should take the law into their own hands. Violence in political events is wrong.
