New Zealand deputy PM mocks COVID-19 denier: ‘Sorry sunshine, wrong place’
New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters mocked a coronavirus skeptic while taking questions on Monday, swiftly smacking down the man’s conspiratorial ideas about COVID-19.The incident was captured on video while Peters, head of the New Zealand First Party, was campaigning for re-election at a public meeting in Tauranga.The man, who spoke with a North American accent, stood up in the audience and challenged Peters to prove that the coronavirus exists.“Where is your evidence that there is a virus that causes this disease?” he demanded.“Sit down,” Peters interjected.
