New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern Suggests Opposition Leader Is A "Karen"
NDTV
The term “Karen” became popular in 2020
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern appears to have suggested that the opposition leader of her country was a “Karen”. During a heated debate on hate speech in Parliament, she made a subtle reference to Judith Collins, also the head of the centre-right National Party, being a “Karen” and caused howls of laughter in the chamber and outside on social media. “Karen”, a term that has become popular on social media, is used to refer to entitled women who get upset and aggressive when things don't go their way. Will calling a middle-aged white woman a ‘Karen' now be a crime under Jacinda Ardern's law? https://t.co/nDiMOU7NLB Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern disagrees with Judith Collins' tweet that under the new hate speech law, calling someone a ‘Karen' will become illegal.‘That is absolutely incorrect and I apologise - that means these laws will not protect that member [Collins] from such a claim.' pic.twitter.com/LqreswVZo7 Apparently insulting women for either being named Karen and/or for being middle aged white women is fine, under Jacinda Ardern's new law. https://t.co/YSdTSWJGJ8 Ms Collins had tweeted against the proposed changes to New Zealand's hate speech laws. She questioned if “calling a middle-aged white woman a ‘Karen' now be a crime under Jacinda Ardern's law?” Ms Ardern replied during the debate that she disagreed with the statement, adding: “As it happens, I also disagree with the member's [Collin's) statement on Twitter, that somehow it will become illegal to call someone a ‘Karen.'”More Related News
