Reform’s candidate in the Makerfield by-election Robert Kenyon was slammed by an audience member at during a Question Time appearance.
Thursday’s edition of the BBC programme was a special about the Makerfield by-election, with each candidate from the five biggest parties in the UK appearing on the show.
This included self-employed plumber Kenyon. who has since found himself at the centre of controversy over sexist remarks he had made on social media in the past.
It didn’t take long too long before Kenyon’s disgusting posts were brought up by an audience member, who made their feelings towards him known.
One audience member in particular put things perfectly, when she told Kenyon she would “rather have a career politician than a plumber who’s sexist.”
The comment drew huge applause from the rest of the audience.
Kenyon then bumbled his way through an answer, including adding that he was “allegedly” a sexist, even though this was something he admitted he was in a social media post.
The Question Time appearance was the latest disastrous media performance from Kenyon, coming the day after he was humbled by the BBC’s Chris Mason over his sexist views.
The interview was so disastrous some labelled it the ‘worst political interview in history.’
