Pauline Turns Down Trump

[icyfroth]

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has tickets to Donald Trump's presidential inauguration ceremony but won't be making the trip to Washington.

The Queensland senator says her duties to her state - which she's been touring to announce candidates for the coming election - come first.

Senator Hanson announced on Twitter this morning she had been gifted tickets to the January 20 ceremony.

"Would you believe it? ... what an honour!" she tweeted.

But she later said she wouldn't be attending because of work commitments.

"My duties to the people of Queensland & Australia come first."

Wow. Wonder how many other people turned him down?

She may have been concerned about him going the grope.

It would be a pretty brave or stupid person who tried that on with our Pauline. ................I reckon the face slap would be so fast it would break the sound barrier .....

maybe she was worried she might wind up hanging in his trophy room next to his other rare hunting trophies.

room for a rare copper headed ausie pollie?

Interesting that Turnbull wasnt on the invitation list

[mr.tip]

so a pollie who would rather stay and continue to work for her electorate than go on a tax-payer funded "trip"

sounds like a real keeper to me
