Fraser Anning, a senator in Australia who was egged, said 'just because somebody has a different opinion to you there's no need to attack them. Just like we saw over in New Zealand.'
Far-right Australian Senator Fraser Anning compared his egging by a teenage boy to the New Zealand terror attack in which a white supremacist shot dead dozens of Muslim worshippers at two mosques.
The senator then turned around and slapped the boy twice in the face before two of his supporters strong-armed Connolly to the floor, pinning him down. “Because he was only a kid I only slapped him with an open hand, but, you know, he deserved that,” Anning said. Last Friday, Brenton Tarrant, 28, allegedly entered two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, and shot dead 50 people, injuring others.
Though condemning the attack and any violence, Anning went on to say the massacre “highlights is the growing fear within our community, both in Australia and New Zealand of the increasing Muslim presence.”
