PNM hypocrisy: Rowley endorsed Sandy after his Calcutta statement
Somebody suggested to me that we should forget about Hilton Sandy and his infamous Calcutta Ship statement during the Tobago House of Assembly election.
I am happy to do that but first we must understand that contrary to what the PNM would like to have us believe it endorsed the statement. PNM leader Keith Rowley was present when Sandy made his statement. And he stood up after Sandy spoke and endorsed him.
One of the great tragedies of our modern civilisation is that we shout abuses whenever we want and then whisper insincere apologies and ask people to forget the whole thing ever happened.
We can put Sandy behind us when Keith Rowley and the PNM admit that they endorsed what Sandy said and stop pretending that they are angels who embrace our diversity.
Why? Here's what Dr. Rowley said. We should frame it and keep it in front of us to remind us about how the PNM looks when it is undressed.
