Sarah Hanson-Young shares some mean tweets, Obama style

Sarah Hanson-Young has shared some ‘pleasantries’ with Australian voters.

In the video (above) posted to YouTube this week, the (sort of) effusive Greens senator apes similar clips by the likes of US President Barack Obama on Jimmy Kimmel Live, reviewing a selection of so-called ‘mean tweets’ and letters directed her way by trolls and haters.

And it would seem likening the senator to a cow is a popular theme. Here’s a sample of the ‘pleasantries’:

“Sarah Hanson-Young. I could eat a can of alphabet soup and eat more crap than she makes. Stupid cow!” – @BillFromBendigo

“Let the silly cow, Sarah Hanson-Young, go her hardest. She wouldn’t know s*** from clay!” – @TedBullpit1

“And fix up your eyebrows, COW HEAD!” – @njccorp

And our absolute, hands-down favourite:

“F****** whinging women, cant call  a woman love, or a good sort or wink or say hello, or open a door for them or be nice in general! Well open your own car door, fix your own car, get your own drink, repair your own home, buy a dildo and go f*** yourself!!” – Anonymous letter.

Delightful.
