In yesterday’s newspaper an organisation wrote a letter criticizing Vice President Jagdeo for his choice of words against a sitting Member of Parliament, Cathy Hughes. Many years ago, I worked with Ms. Hughes’s father, and he was a great man, and a pantheon of perfection. I doubt if he would ever have sanctioned anyone going to a foreign country to denigrate their own. Or accuse other politicians of untruths, like giving away Essequibo to the Venezuelans. However, the VP responded “in the heat of battle” with one choice word, he should never have used.
Now, we have an organisation and others demanding that he apologize. Fair enough, he should. However, we have a sitting Member of Parliament who nightly spews the most caustic and venomous words to this same VP and others….and no one cares. On what seemed like thousands of occasions, this sitting MP shouted “trench crapos”, “jagabats” etc. etc. And the same people who are now expressing outrage, have nothing to say about that. And many of the people who are now calling on the VP to apologize, have appeared on this MP’s show while he is spewing his racist insults.
Rank hypocrisy, anyone? Shouldn’t they be demanding similar apologies from this sitting MP, who knowingly is slinging arrows with the desire to inflict, hurt? Surely, thousands of “trench crapos” is more harmful than one “lowlife”!
Respectfully submitted,
