Do you believe there are boundaries to what politicians can say in public speeches, and if so, what are they?
@9QQS6SF2yrs2Y
Yes they are public figures and their statement carry weight.
Mark Robinson's choice of words was undoubtedly poor, but the real issue here is how quick everyone is to silence a controversial opinion rather than engage in actual debate.
It's absolutely appalling and dangerous for Mark Robinson to use such inflammatory language; this is the kind of rhetoric that has no place in our political dialogue and only serves to further divide us.
