After a local backlash, Whanganui mayor Andrew Tripe now professes regret for giving the eulogy during a candlelit vigil for US neo-Nazi Charlie Kirk.
Tripe claims to have known “very little” about Kirk, but his own words let him down.
“Charlie Kirk shed his blood for us”.
“It is our call to act on what Charlie Kirk was doing, boldly.”
With that last line, is the mayor referring to Kirk's misogyny, his hatred of LGBQT people or just his white nationalism?
