   Honestly, while the post is trash, coming from “human rights violation”, I was expecting worse.

3. 😳

4. Oh man. The LDP is going to have to wear *so many* SDG pins after this.

5. Imagine making comments about how others look when you look like an action figure that’s been in the microwave.

6. As the article noted, she has a history of making disparaging comments against ethnic and sexual minorities, so I doubt this will make any difference. The LDP doesn’t care about human rights considering that they are the ones who maintain discriminatory policies in the first place. If Sugita weren’t a woman she’d probably be on track for a senior leadership position in the party considering that her attitude towards minorities fits the mindset there.

7. The LDP doesn’t care, their only objection is that she’s using a bullhorn instead of a dogwhistle. The only thing that will matter is either an electoral drumming or a successful lawsuit, neither of which are likely. Bigots gonna bigot.
