The Baffling Moment When Andrew Bolt Called Jacqui Lambie Too "Bigoted"

And then we all jumped the bigot shark.


Conservative commentator Andrew Bolt has launched an extraordinarily hypocritical rant on Senator Jacqui Lambie, saying her recent comments about Islam were too "bigoted" and "un-Australian".

Bolt — who has been taken to court for breaching the Racial Discrimination Act and campaigned for reckless free speech — launched the totally unironic rant on Sunday's Bolt Report.


The full passage includes a sincere call for Australians to be more accepting of some Muslims.


Sure Islam needs reform. Sure Islamist terrorism is a real threat. But let us not forget the best of Australia. Being open to whatever people of colour or faith. Being open to people who share a love of this country and want to be part of it, part of us. We cannot be as un-Australia, as bigoted as Palmer United Senator Jacqui Lambie.


Bolt thinks Senator Lambie was being "bigoted" when she refused to accept an invitation to a mosque open day because it was against her "moral upbringing".
