The Western Australian premier, Roger Cook, has apologised after calling the US vice-president, JD Vance, a “knob” at a pre-election event in Perth.
At the West Australian’s Leadership Matters event on Tuesday morning, at which Cook was the guest speaker, a journalist asked the premier to finish the sentence: “JD Vance is a …” Cook replied: “Knob.”
Cook then said: “You’ve got to have one unprofessional moment, don’t you? That was it.”
His description won him laughs and a round of applause from the audience.
Never apologize for saying the truth.
JD Vance is a fucking knob.
We need more of this sort of vibe out there!
I don’t see that there’s anything to apologize for here.
I’m sorry I called you a knob, that’s an insult to knobs. You’re actually much, much worse.
Don’t apologize. The vice-dachshund is a knob.
He is sorry that Vance is a knob.
