tis the way with rightwing leaders it seems , AFD leader, lives in Switzerland, lesbian, married to a Sri Lanken with an adopted kid, a literal nazi who bangs on about traditional families and immigrants.

Nigel Farage, bangs on about immigrants, married to an immigrant, Trump similarly

and yet zero fucking accountability for their hypocrisy! Fuck voters.

Maybe she has a grudge against her first husband. Anyway, Hanson herself has has 9% Middle Eastern heritage, along with 32% Italian, Greek, or Turkish, and 59% Northern European ancestry.

I tend to trust those sorts of breakdowns as much as I do Pauline. They are basically fortune tellers in Lab coats. Regardless of her ethnic background she is 100% Cunt that counts for a lot more.

Calling her a cunt is not exactly a scientific or trustworthy description either. I oppose what she stands for and that she does not even seem to understand what she's taking about. There's a shallowness and lack of serious thinking and an attachment to fascistic principles that follow overseas trends and vested interests. I reckon we need to be alert about the machine that keeps her as an easy figurehead. I don't think she would be where she is without it.
