Off the Ball crew gone from Newstalk.

She posted an ignorant tweet that targeted people who come here for a better life. When asked about it she played the victim card and there was a subsequent pile on the journalist who was doing his job. We can celebrate her victory for the country but people are more than entitled to disagree with what she said and to vocalise that.

It was emotive more than ignorance. She wasn’t targeting people that come here for a better life
She was targeting those that come here to murder and commit other crimes.
It wasn’t a random tweet, it was posted with context. The context being an immigrant murdering a child.

No issue with the question being asked but it was an ambush. Even politicians are advised in advance of interviews what topics will be covered. He just landed it on her out of left field which was very unfair and then was like a dog with a bone, pretending to be an investigative journalist of some sort. He truly is a loathsome creature.

She lumped them all in together. This narrative of linking immigrants to crime feeds an impression in some that immigrants are driving an increase in crime which is simply not true.

That’s the world we live in though. If you post something controversial online as a public figure you’re going to be asked about it.

Yes, and any reasonable journalist gives their interviewee advance notice of this so they can get their thoughts together and give a considered response. He didn't because he is a prick looking to make a name for himself.

She didn’t lump them all together. She used the video describing the murder as context.
She was targeting those that come here to commit crimes
Her coach is an immigrant, so why would she lump them all together.
