Taking On Winnie

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: No one messes around with Winston Peters, more so in a general election year.

The seasoned politician received a letter from "Rainbow Action Tamaki" allegedly threatening legal action against his social media post calling them names including a "bunch of rent-a-crowd protestors".

The church group recently protested about NZ First's Definition of a Woman Bill.

The reply from Winnie was typical.

"They want me to delete my post, apologise, and donate money to their 'charity'. My post is now passing 1.7 million views on Facebook. So, no. I won't be deleting it with all the positive responses it is receiving from Kiwis with common sense who are backing our stance.

"We also won't be donating any money to their cause, mainly due to not knowing which kind of flag it will be spent purchasing, seeing as they can't make their mind up what protest they are at."

Ouch!
