THE POST WAS UPDATED
Former Perussuomalaiset (PS) MP Ano Turtiainen has become a real thorn in the side of the far-right Islamophobic party. Apart from his racist postings of George Floyd, encouraging violence against asylum reception centers, assaulting a fourteen-year-old, wishing that asylum seekers would drown at sea, inciting civil war, anti-vaxxer buffoonery, and other issues.
His latest tweet states that he would be ready to kill people if a friend of his was forced to use a mask.
Even if Turtiainen’s tweet is taken up in parliament when it reconvenes Tuesday, his present behavior should not come as a surprise even if the PS wants him at a ten-foot-pole distance like the tweet below suggests.
If there is a party (surprise, surprise!) that is to blame for the whole Turtiainen mess it is without a doubt the PS.
They knew about Turtiainen’s criminal record and his racist views, which are ok in the PS.
How many Turtiainen’s does the PS have?
I would say such a generous amount that without them the PS would cease to be the PS.
Turtiainen was expelled from the PS parliamentary group in June and from the party in February.
