The Western Australian premier, Roger Cook, has apologised after calling the US vice-president, JD Vance, a “knob” at a pre-election event in Perth.
At the West Australian’s Leadership Matters event on Tuesday morning, at which Cook was the guest speaker, a journalist asked the premier to finish the sentence: “JD Vance is a …” Cook replied: “Knob.”
Cook then said: “You’ve got to have one unprofessional moment, don’t you? That was it.”
His description won him laughs and a round of applause from the audience.
I don’t see that there’s anything to apologize for here.
Same with the oval office. They were saying zelensky was disrespectful. When? I watched the whole thing and was insanely impressed by his restraint. Everyone who does even the smallest favor for Vance should harass him about being thankful. His behavior was absolutely disgusting.
Zelenskyy should have busted out with “Maybe we can come to an agreement if I fake some ‘evidence’ against someone you don’t like?”
He didn’t offer to fellate Trump even once. Disrespectful!
And did you see how he was dressed!? So disrespectful!

Not one bit. That language was way too soft.
Australia, I know y’all can throw better and harsher insults. Please bring it.
In the article it was pretty much a non-apology made when journalists pressed him on it later.
