Ko Wen-je’s infamous remark, “You and the pension reform protesters are all bastards,” became a hot topic online. But let’s ask Ko Wen-je: What if the smoke bomb had been a grenade?
A single smoke bomb shattered the Universiade’s security measures. Ko Wen-je’s immediate response was to label protesters as bastards, a public relations move to cover up his administration’s failure.
🔥 Security Failures
Ko’s administration failed to secure the venue, leaving athletes stuck in traffic. His public relations strategy of blaming protesters does not change the fact that security measures failed miserably.
If Ko Wen-je’s only response to criticism is to call people bastards, then perhaps the truth is more important than any label.
