William Fraser Anning is an Australian politician who is a Senator for Queensland, within his comments about the Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand, claimed that immigration of "Muslim fanatics" led to the attacks, and that "while Muslims may have been victims today, usually they are the perpetrators".

You would think people in these positions would learn to reign in their idiocy. Sadly, stupidity knows no boundaries.

Yes, I saw it. I really didn't know what to make of it. As most people have pointed out in the thread, it looked very much like a hack. Some said it was Elvis being sarcastic, but it definitely wasn't in his style - it wasn't articulate enough.

hopefully he'll have a 'sorry about the hack' note, just to acknowledge and dismiss.

somehow this seems connected to the t-bone sxsw speech....e.c and t.b. need to do a cd called Fake (one creepy layer underneath the looknow facades)

He's now been formally censured by the Australian Senate (today is the first day that it has sat since his comments):
