I obviously back Osman Faruqi because he's a kind, brave critic of the white supremacy poisoning this country, and it fucking sucks he suffers so much for it. I also have no idea how News Corp commentators live with themselves

Hi, I'm any News Corp columnist ever! I harassed Yassmin Abdel-Magied on the basis of her race and religion for months, so much so she eventually left the country, but now refuse to believe that racism exists in American border officials!!
