‘Opposition’s best weapon:’ Michael Fabricant wades into the Chris Pincher scandal

"If they have to bring out Michael Fabricant to apologise for your behaviour, you know you’ve really f*cked up," wrote one person.

Michael Fabricant is someone people will look at in the future and think ‘what was that all about.’

To be fair, a lot of people might think like that now.

This time he had made some pretty terrible comments regarding the Chris Pincher scandal.

It comes as an ex-civil servant Simon McDonald says No 10 are “factually incorrect” to say the PM was unaware of a Chris Pincher complaint.

In his letter, Lord McDonald said: “Mr Johnson was briefed in person about the initiation and outcome of the investigation. There was a ‘formal complaint’.

“Allegations were ‘resolved’ only in the sense that the investigation was completed; Mr Pincher was not exonerated. To characterise the allegations as ‘unsubstantiated’ is therefore wrong”

🚨 Ex-civil servant Simon McDonald says No 10 are "factually incorrect" to say the PM was unaware of a Chris Pincher complaint.

💬He says the PM was "briefed in person".

It was only a few days ago his tweet about Covid deaths was called out online.

Last year, #Starmer claimed that Britain had suffered one of the highest mortality tolls on the continent.
Not true according to the #WHO.
The #UK comes is 15th place out of 27 #EU member states behind 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇪🇸
Will #Starmer apologise? pic.twitter.com/x0P8YPwXxO

In response, a different graph was shared that called out Fabrican’t claims.

Defends Pincher?

Now Fabricant spoke to BBC Radio 5 live, where he said: “‘Nothing is black and white in this world… the way Pincher has been characterised… it does make me wonder who is the guilty party, who is the innocent party.”

Also, this story about Pincher’s drunken behaviour, last week, is also troubling

And if that wasn’t enough he spouted similar nonsense on GB News.

‘If the Prime Minister has two weaknesses, one is believing you're innocent until proven guilty and the second one is loyalty.’

Victim blaming Michael Fabricant suggests the men sexually assaulted by Pincher may have been wearing skirts that were too short. 🙄🙄🙄

He has previous form. https://t.co/WLNUBZhNYE pic.twitter.com/qv4GZMREr8

Listening to Michael Fabricant trying to portray Christopher Pincher as a victim on @bbc5live this morning is a new low.

‘In a way, Pincher is a victim too’ according to Fabricant on @bbc5live just now.

In a way, this is an insult to victims.

Lots of people focusing on Fabricant saying that Pincher is "also a victim" but this line is way worse, the direct, overt victim blaming is unforgivable. I know it's Fabricant & therefore tempting to just hear it as a joke but this is deadly serious & unforgivable. https://t.co/SABl9ezPE6

In what is a new low for Michael Fabricant, he describes @ChrisPincher’s recent actions with a degree of sympathy for his “neighbour”. He also suggests that, there is mitigating circumstances, as Pincher was “drunk”. Could Fabricant be any more offensive, stupid, and insulting? https://t.co/clTsJJOYcw

Fabricant remains one of the opposition’s best weapons. https://t.co/Mp77cxIYrz
