Summary:
“100% I’m here.”
FINALLY! Two months after BuzzFeed News exposed Mark Latham's Twitter account which viciously trolled Australia's most prominent women, the keyboard warrior has admitted it was him.
On Channel 9's The Verdict, Karl Stefanovic asked point blank whether the former Labor leader and columnist was behind the account "@realmarklatham".
"100% I'm here. I'm the real Mark Latham," said the real Mark Latham.
When asked whether he was forced to resign his job at The Australian Financial Review over his misogynistic tweets he dodged the question.
"The reasons for my resignation are between me and the editor of the newspaper."
To recap... 63 days ago BuzzFeed News published an article exposing Latham's trolling, suggesting multiple reasons he was behind the vicious "egg" account.
The worst of the abuse was leveled at transgender military official Catherine McGregor and domestic violence survivor and Australian of the Year Rosie Batty.
