Australian Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack listens during question time in the House of Representatives at Parliament House, in Canberra, on Dec. 7, 2020.Australia’s acting prime minister on Tuesday defended his comments comparing the attack on the U.S. Capitol building with Black Lives Matter protests despite criticism from Indigenous and human rights groups.
“Amnesty International and others – and I appreciate there are a lot of people out there who are being a bit bleeding-heart about this and who are confecting outrage – but they should know those lives matter too,” McCormack told reporters. “All lives matter. People shouldn’t have to go to a protest and lose their life.”
“Instead of backing up President Trump, the acting prime minister should be backing up Indigenous people in his own country and take the lead in addressing these issues,” Hunter added.
BLM protests were WAY worse. I’m glad he spoke up and stands by his word. Good on him!
Oh, FFS!
RETAAAAAAAARD
Sometimes, we just can't correct Stupid.
What where the similarities? Or Is he just a racist idiot?
Douchebag
BLM protests burned down businesses and killed innocent people as well. Those who of the killed were black. So he is correct. But the cancel culture are too stupid to condemn both situations.
Idiot
Just telling the truth.
Not shocking. Look how they handle racism in their own country - like it doesn't exist. Why are people surprised when old white men uphold the same racist values they were taught? For shame, Australia.
Well no comparison, the BLM protests cause devastation in states closing business, arson, murder, assault etc etc, the Trump protests ended only in some protesters being murdered by security, in fact they filtered in, and besides breaking a window and sitting in a office
What a moron!! They couldn't differ more
