Australian lawmaker egged after blaming Muslims following attack on New Zealand mosques

A protester smashed an egg on the head of a right-wing Australian senator on Saturday after he said the “real cause of bloodshed” following the New Zealand mosque shootings was Muslims.

A protester slapped an egg on the back of Queensland Sen. Fraser Anning’s head during a news conference Saturday, Al Jazeera reported.

Anning was restrained by security officials during the confrontation after punching a protester, according to the outlet.

That would probably be anyone’s reaction to a surprise hit from behind.

That said, good job kid! I’m jealous it wasn’t me smashing his head!

The trumpers restraining the kid afterwards should be severely beaten though.
