Senator’s Racist Outburst After Mbappé Goal | Montreal News
Description
A Paraguayan senator unleashed a racist rant online after Kylian Mbappé’s winning penalty, calling him a “colonized Cameroonian” and a “brute,” then doubled down in senate, calling him a “son of a bitch” and claiming he wasn’t really French. The senate condemned her remarks as racist, France’s football federation called them “abhorrent,” and prosecutors opened an investigation. When she tried to blame a hacked account, she later posted, “France can keep bothering me.” A shocking reminder that hate speech from public figures has real consequences.
