“…as far as I’m concerned, it’s just a statement of fact and for some reason I have upset a lot of people…”
This was the response from Queensland Senator Fraser Anning a day after a teenage protester had egged him for his recent statement implying that Muslim immigration was a reason behind Friday’s mass shooting in New Zealand.
Stating that he was opposed to “any form of violence,” Anning claimed that the atrocity highlighted the “growing fear over an increasing Muslim presence,” in both New Zealand and Australia.
The comment prompted an avalanche of criticism, and, as RT reports, at his Saturday press conference in Melbourne, a young protester attacked him with an egg.
Footage of the incident shows the teen standing quietly beside the politician. He then pulls up his cellphone before slapping the egg on the back of Anning’s head. The senator then turns to the young man before swinging two punches at his face.

The teen is then tackled to the ground and held in a headlock while Anning is led away. People can be heard saying “pick him up and get him out,” and “get the cops.”
Of course, since the attack, support for the boy (no, not the senator who was attacked) has flooded in on social media, with many hailing him a “hero” and calling for him to be given awards and medals for his actions.
A Change.org petition calling for him to be kicked out of the Senate had racked up over one million signatures as of Monday.
“There is no place in Australian government for Neo-Nazis. There is no place for bigotry. There is no place for hate speech,” it states.
However, refusing to bow to social justice warrior demands, RT reports that Anning continued to stand his ground on Sunday, telling a specially arranged press conference that while media had “twisted” his initial statement, he did not feel the need to apologize for what many decried as an ill-timed diatribe.
“What people took out of context I think was that in the same press release I said that the countries that allow a large-scale Muslim immigration invariably have escalations in crime, violence and terrorist attacks,” Anning said Sunday.
“Now, as far as I’m concerned, it’s just a statement of fact and for some reason I have upset a lot of people, including Mr Morrison,” the independent senator said, effectively doubling down on his previous remark that landed him in hot water.
Anning argued that Australia is on course to repeat the fate of European countries like France, Belgium, the UK and Germany, which underwent a spell of terrorist attacks inspired by radical Islam, if it does not stop“Muslim immigration.”
Asked whether he regrets the timing of his statement, Anning said he did not regret “anything.”

Our very own governments have been subversive to us.
Here in Minneapolis we now have 50,000 Somailis. These are 3rd world creatures that have nothing in common with US values / norms. They have 12th century beliefs in a violent religion. They are largely uneducated, and don’t care about assimilating. To top it off – a large percentage receive welfare payments.
Then too are the 10,000,000 – 20,000,000 illegals, that our government has not prevented from entering, or deported. These people are also largely uneducated, and we pay at the minimum medicaid and to school their children. All the while they drive without licenses or insurance. And there is no end in sight.
These people are not immigrants wanting to build our county – they are immigrating to a post industrial revolution country to automatically reap the benefits we have built over decades, and plug into the welfare system.
There is no advantage to being a citizen, actually it’s a disadvantage in that we have to work and pay taxes to support these creatures.
Some folks have been known to actually go Galt.
Going Galt? That’s rich…on the government dime no less. Bwahahababa.
good post ,dutch–
another point,when these immigrants are concentrated,esp in states that have relatively low populations,it can affect representation because of census counts,and then by voting patterns–
quick,name the 3 most prominent elected democratic house members who are radical leftists?
aoc,omar,& the one from michigan–
none of these would have been elected w/o massive immigration–
The video RiNS posted is worth the listen.
Any idea where I can get a “Fraser Anning” bumper sticker? I am pretty sure he would do a better job than my RINO senator.
Welcome to the world where facts are outlawed.
Refreshing to see a politician embrace truth. That said, public figures on the right are going to have to start taking their security seriously. There’s no way this kid should have been able to do what he did.
(((TPTB))) are doing everything in their power to turn the USA into a mudbrown mess of morons, dedicated to electing democrats into every office until the Constitution is dismantled. Fight the easy fight now or the hard fight later.
