A “childish” tweet from the Home Affairs Minister in which she branded Donald Trump’s son a “big baby” and a “sore loser” has been taken down within an hour of posting.
Donald Trump Jr was scheduled to make appearances in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne later this week but event organisers Turning Point Australia informed ticket holders on Wednesday evening that the tour would be postponed.
On Thursday, Clare O’Neil,left, took to Twitter to debunk speculation visa delays had led to the cancellation of Trump Jr’s anti-cancel culture tour of Australia.
“Geez Donald Trump Jr is a bit of a sore loser. His dad lost an election fair and square but he says it was stolen,” she said.“Now he’s trying to blame the Australian Government for his poor ticket sales and cancelled tour.
Donald Trump Jr has been given a visa to come to Australia. He didn’t get cancelled.“He’s just a big baby, who isn’t very popular.”
That drew quick criticism from shadow home affairs minister James Paterson, who slammed the minister’s “juvenile” tweets as “childish”.
“Like it or not, Trump could be elected president again in less than 18 months,” he said.
