Creepy Jealous Ray Chung gets Wang Chunged tonight

Ray Chung stays in the race after salacious sex claims, believes neighbour’s story

Incumbent councillor Ray Chung plans to stay in Wellington’s mayoral race, despite the campaign having a culture that he characterises as toxic and hateful.

“If this is what elections are like, well, I am learning something new and have less faith in human nature as a result,” he said.

Chung hit national headlines on Friday morning after an email he wrote in 2023 describing an alleged sexual encounter involving Mayor Tory Whanau was released.

He sent the email to the private accounts of councillors Tony Randle, Nicola Young and John Apanowicz, after hearing the story from a neighbour. One of those recipients sent it on, although Chung declined to name who. Whanau, who shared the email with the NZ Herald, has vehemently denied the contents of the email.

…there is simply no place in NZ politics for these kids of sexual political smear jobs. This arsehole has no evidence whatsoever of the disgusting smears he’s made against Whanau, we saw the exact same kind of smear against Benjamin Doyle.

Terrible allegations of a sexual nature with zero evidence.

Ray Chung and all the Right Wing Hate Trolls he associates with should be considered radioactively toxic and they should be viewed with total contempt.

To make up these allegations about peoples sexuality with no evidence whatsoever is just so fucking ugly.

Look, there are plenty of legitimate ares we can disagree civilly with Tory Whanau over, this kind of lewd garbage is disgraceful and we should have zero tolerance for it.

If you are in Wellington, you have an obligation to confront Ray Chung anytime you see him in public.
