Lidia Thorpe’s father says ‘she is a very racist person’

#shorts The father of Independent MP Lidia Thorpe says ‘she is a very racist person against white people.’

He says ‘I’m a bit disappointed in how she’s been carrying on lately, after all, she has got English background as well as Irish.’

Straight truth from her father. Politely ashamed of her as we all are

[bradhienzachary]

As a father with 2 children of mixed heritage I’d be totally ashamed if they carried on like Pity-her Thorpe!

She's basically every inner city suburb chick in Melbourne

[jenniferwray]

No crap, he looks younger than her lol.

[conservative-kulz]

Thomas Merkle 2.0. Only a loving father is able to truly understand his children.

A good man speaking his truth, maybe he can take her position

[jamesthornton]

could be dad speaking truth, or dad planting the seed in social discussion for her being put up to it by another or other party members, in either case, she has showed who she is, doesn't matter ur skin colour, if ur terrible shade of fkn ugly on the inside,

[russoswerve]

Racism against white people never gets called out

[VeritasVortex]

It's his fault for not raising her right. He should've belted her a couple times as a kid to set her straight

[Matt_Wilson]

We can all see how racist she is without her father telling us

[mistaman]

How much did you get to Sell out your own Daughter?

[Ziochopchop]

Chris Kenny basically said he was in the wrong to say these things about his daughter. I say, he has more knowledge than the rest of us about Lidia and was mealy stating facts.

Not too sure how she is still in the senate with the recent and ongoing behavior, makes a joke of the whole system.

She has had numerous strikes against her moral compass and yet she just keeps on going, not sure what she is selling but given he antics I am certainly not buying

[hauney]

A REAL Father doesn't nationally shame their children. Shows more about the character of this guy than it does Lidia

[pjano]

I'm surprised she actually has a Dad with a brain

[thomjanson]

DNA test!!! Nothing about her says Blak girl other than her telling everyone she is, even my British grandmother was browner!!
So what exactly is her aboriginal history, if any?

[lukescanlon]

I do wonder if a lobbyist had a hand in Thorpes father saying this.

Don't get me wrong if he's anything like her then he may well lack the self awareness that private disappoval is still loyalty to a family feud.

I am not a Thorpe fan at all but I am disappointed that her father made public, albeit true comments against her.

[huntera]

Sounds like she is manifesting a psychiatric problem.

[foxycat]

The Qs is - Was her father ever around, or was he just a bloke who came and gone? Now, lets hear her side. She may well be drunk on power but she has the right to respond to her fathers involvement in her life.
