Twitter Relentlessly Binned Sonia Kruger’s ‘Reverse Discrimination’ Take

Breakfast television doesn’t have a monopoly on small-minded and overpaid celebs saying stupid shit, but it sure does contain higher than average doses of stupid shit than most other TV (except for ‘The Bolt Report‘, obviously).

Likewise, Sonia Kruger doesn’t have a monopoly on saying stupid shit on breakfast television, but she’s sure making a habit out of it.

After only 2 weeks ago suggesting that we blanket ban Muslims from immigrating to Australia, Kruger has done it again: this time suggesting that scholarships for helping trans/queer students are ‘reverse’ discrimination.

Needless to say, she got mad roasted on the internet for demonstrating an incredibly poor understanding of what scholarships are for:

what if, and stick with me here guys, what if we stopped asking sonia kruger’s opinions on things

Someone please tell Sonja that most scholarships are discriminatory in some way? Academic, sporting, indigenous, etc https://t.co/nrzEPQScwo

i think it’s obscene that the PC Brigade would CENSOR Kruger by critically analysing what she says on national television each morning.

You’ve gotta feel sorry for the grad student in a few centuries trying to work out why we conducted debates on race via breakfast television

THE TODAY SHOW:

6am – Karl apologises for vomiting on a refugee
7am – Kruger suplexes at-risk youth
8am – Block of cash is an anti vaxxer

Sonia Kruger Shocks Australia By Demanding Blood For The Blood God

Is it just me or is Sonia Kruger trying to reinvent herself as Andrew Bolt?

Are we sure her name is not really Sonia Dunning-Kruger?

@SoniaKruger There are university grants for single mothers of low incomes. Got a problem with that too?

So, Sonia Kruger got forgiveness sent to her virally and it didn’t stop her continuing to feed the outrage cycle. New strategy?

Now we just wait for her to issue a half-assed apology that doesn’t actually address anyone’s concerns.
