United Australia senator Ralph Babet posts racist, homophobic slurs
United Australia Party senator Ralph Babet has posted a series of slurs online after sharing a video of misogynistic internet provocateur Andrew Tate crowing about Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election, prompting condemnation from the Greens.
The fringe senator, elected at a cost to mining billionaire Clive Palmer of $116 million, made the sexist, homophobic and ableist remarks on Elon Musk’s platform X, where right-wing influencers have celebrated the US election as normalising offensive speech.
Babet shared a clip on Monday of Tate giving a live-streamed “emergency meeting” speech about the political landscape changing as “gatekeepers are losing their power” over the economy, information and politics.
“In my house we say phaggot [sic], retard and n—-r,” Babet wrote in the caption. “We are sick of you woke ass clowns. Cry more. Write an article. Tweet about me. No one cares what you think.”
I can’t wait to see what happens when someone tries to call him one of those things, cos if he’s OK with using them against I presume he’s OK with them being used against them.
