Grant Robertson suggests Bridges’ PM criticism has ‘sexist overtone’

Calling Jacinda Ardern a “part-time Prime Minister” is a desperate measure from a National leader struggling to resonate with voters, Government Minister Grant Robertson says.

And he has suggested that Bridges was dog-whistling to voters who don’t think Ardern can be a full-time Prime Minister while being a mother at the same time, suggesting the comment had “sexist” overtones.

I’m not sure who is more annoying. People who think ‘Part-time PM’ is the most clever insult ever created or People who think it is the most offensive thing ever spoken in the english language.

This game of mediocrity masquerading as outrage is going to be the entire election next year isn’t it?

What was interesting to me was that when you went to the #ParttimePM hash tag, the thread was really a 4chan voyage into an incel nightmare landscape of angry revenge fantasists, like hating Jacinda THAAAAAT much just sounds so wounded and damaged doesn’t it?

All I’m hearing when I read that thread was a lot of lonely men needing hugs.

What Bridges was cashing in on by calling Jacinda a Part-time PM was the basic ignorance of the NZ population, most of whom would have no comprehension whatsoever as to what the ‘Realm of NZ’  actually is. Rather than understanding that visiting Tokalau is an obligation and responsibility because it is in the Realm of NZ, most NZers (who let’s be honest aren’t that bright) see the trip as a bloody holiday.

So Bridges is playing to gaps in the basic general knowledge of NZ and he will continue gaining media traction if the Left keep biting rather than exposing his ignorance.

I care less about a ‘PartTimePM’ and care more about a ‘run away PM’ who tries to threaten Journalists about asking questions she doesn’t like.
