Riikka Purra apologizes for her old social media comments

1. How weird that yesterday she said she sees no reason to apologize for anything she’s said, today, she apologizes. Surely a genuine apology and not done to prevent the government from crashing down

2. The only acceptable apology at this moment is resignation. Fucking racist brainlets.

3. The damage is done. She needs to go. The apology is just damage control. I do not believe her thoughts have changed. She was 31 when she wrote that stuff and her party is PS. We can’t have people who think like her in such important roles. Its either that she goes or the government disbands. This is seriously bad PR for Kokoomus and RKP.

   I smell a vote of no confidence on its way.

   We will see.

4. One does not stop being a racist overnight, especially when it is politically convenient. The fact that her history was not a problem until now is also not great.

   Anyways, deeds, not words. My parents always told me, it’s easy to say you are sorry, it’s hard to show that you are sorry.

5. fuck her, the government deserves to be broken down at this point. I almost feel bad for Orpo but him and Anna-Maja made their bed, now they have to sleep in it.

6. I think it’s only fair, time for a drug test /s

7. Why apologise? Who is she trying to impress?

8. She was old enough to know better, there were enough of these comments to know that’s what she actually thinks and not some kid trying to be edgy, that shit is for life.

9. The same ol’ dance… She apologizes because that’s the only way to save her ass, but I doubt it’ll be enough. It’s the end of the blue-black coalition, the shittiest attempt to govern Finland since I don’t even know when.

10. I am sorry that I got caught. Will not happen again.

11. > Aiemmin tiistaina Purra kertoi Ilta-Sanomille irtosanoutuvansa rasismista.
    – Kyllä. Johan tämä käy hallitusohjelmastakin ilmi, Purra vastasi viestitse.

    How silly to think that she’s a racist when it already says in the government program that they’re not racist. /s

12. Oh wow, the party of racists got caught with a racist member, I’m shocked! SHOCKED!
