Danny Kruger downplaying Reform’s Makerfield candidate’s vile misogynistic comments about Carol Vorderman spoke volumes about where the party is right now
9.
Kruger must rue the day he had to put himself in a position of defending a candidate from the same party he sits in who is like a throwback from the 70s. This guy, should he win, will be Kruger’s close colleague.
We know Kruger’s values from his book Covenant. I don’t remember… https://t.co/nId0YUlyZb

Of course @danny__kruger tried to belittle @carolvorders statement on @RobKenyonReform’s misogynistic, disgusting, comments.
Calling them ‘private’ is ridiculous, he posted them on Twitter.
Like this – Danny, your views on women show exactly who you are. Sorry that you want… https://t.co/yLizixZKfB

There’s always a final comment that diminishes the condemnation.
He’s made indefensible comments… but

Reconstruction of utterly pompous Reform UK's Danny Kruger's interview of him defending their plan to abolish most of government to let goons like their candidate in Makerfield to be in government, while the latter's offensive posts are read out by @Emmabarnett. #r4today pic.twitter.com/QaFI8lbGNh

A sexist, racist idiot van driver who Reform don’t trust speak to the media is hardly going to help solve the countries problems that Kruger’s former party caused. https://t.co/xGn73J1A77

They will lose in Makerfield down to the conduct & behaviour of their candidate & Farage unwillingness to address it https://t.co/UWUv4tE8pX

Kruger’s verbal gymnastics simply reinforce Reform’s recurring problem with misogyny.
Kruger tells women and girls that sexually threatening comments are not a big enough problem to block candidacy. Remember – Farage endorsed Tate as a role model. Coercive control, violence, and sexually threatening behaviour not a priority for Reform unless it wears a brown face? https://t.co/d1ncRBu6n2 pic.twitter.com/QY8QRwy8hU
