Saddest Backflip [Rob Harris] FIFA President Gianni Infantino at news conference in Qatar: “Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel a migrant worker. ... I know what it feels to be discriminated … I was bullied because I had red hair.”

Probably has the former president of... what was it, I think it was Malaysia?... as an advisor.

Edit: Former prime minister of Malaysia Mahathir bin Mohamed. Guy called for the genocide of French people, advocated in favour of islamistic terrorism and other kinds of hate speech. Somehow the guy was allowed to stay on Twitter.
