She has called attorneys "lowlife eat ah food filth", labelled prominent members of society, "fake elite" belonging to the "Epstein and Escobar classes". She has not hesitated to insult law abiding citizens who disagree with her policies, calling them "race grifters" and "deranged paranoid criminals.
Is this the behaviour of a Prime Minister? Instead of elevating the national discourse, this woman's language not only lowers the standard of political accountability, but brings the office she temporarily holds to a level of disrepute, that the country has never witnessed. Even though she, the individual, will be no more than an unpleasant memory in the fullness of time, the stain she has put on the country's leadership will remain long after she has departed this life.
Maybe it is time someone address the Prime Minister's low-class behavior, and remind her of the old maxim, 'Don't throw stones, if you live in a glass house'."
Ms. Persad-Bissessar's gratuitous resort to insulting and abusive 'ad hominem' attacks that discredit independent institutions, and disparage decent citizens' reputations, exposes her own character to severe scrutiny.
For good measure, citizens and political commentators should offer Ms.Persad-Bissessar a second most appropriate piece of advice:
"If your pot is dirty, don't call my kettle black."
Before projecting malice onto independent officials and citizens, and sullying their characters out of immature political pique, the Prime Minister should ensure she is entirely spotless.
