Mark Latham has instigated a Twitter conflict after he tweeted something that can be construed as derogatory to Sarah Abo. Sarah was hosting a debate between Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese, and that tweet refers to this event.
Let’s find out more about this incident and the reason behind the outrage.
Sarah was hosting a leader debate on Channel 9 between two leaders, Scott and Anthony when they started to digress and completely discarded the existence of the moderator in the debate.
Their unruly behavior, despite being a leader of the country, has been condemned by the presses across the world. On top of that Mark’s tasteless comment targeting the talented host has been seen as very unprofessional.
Never trust an Abo with something as important as that.

What Did Mark Latham Say About Sarah Abo?
Mark wrote on his Twitter mocking Sarah’s last name and said that never to trust abo to do something important. Abo is a term used to refer to aboriginal people and more specifically to people who lived in Australia first.
Many people believe that Mark is mocking Sarah indicating her poor performance as a moderator and the fact that both the leaders on the stage were dismissive of her existence, which was very disrespectful.
Not only that abo is also a term that is used as a slur and often consider offensive, so Mark’s comment has hurt people coming from various places. He has tried to defend his tweet in his recent talk to the press.
He has said that the tweet was never meant to be offensive and was misconstrued by the people. However, people are having a hard time trusting him because the word he has used dismisses his own claims.
