Tamihere made the remark on Martyn Bradbury’s The Bradbury Group podcast this week. He said the Government had a “bully-boy mentality”, and said academics suggesting alternative economic opinions were “beat up”.
“This is worse than Nazi Germany, this is a fascist regime that has to be removed,” Tamihere said.
This is again not some random anonymous troll on the Internet. This is the party president of a parliamentary party saying that the government that got elected by a majority of voters is a fascist regime that is worse than a regime that murdered six million of its own citizens.
This shows again that Te Pati Maori is unfit for office. It is inevitable that repeated rhetoric like this from senior politicians will lead to violence. I mean if you actually did think the government was worse than Nazi Germany, then violence would be absolutely justified.
