This senator is stirring s**t up!!!
Senator Lidia Thorpe, the first Aboriginal Australian senator from Victoria who is of Djab Wurrung, Gunnai, and Gunditjmara descent, took her moment in the spotlight to BLAST Queen Elizabeth II! On Monday, while she was being sworn in as senator at Australia’s Parliament House, the politician switched up the words of the traditional oath of office she was required to read. With her fist raised in the air, she declared:
Damn! Did you catch it?! She called her Majesty a colonizer!! Right while pledging her so-called loyalty to her! Yeesh!!

While she might have gotten away with the word change, Lidia was quickly met with a bunch of boos from those watching, with one person reportedly shouting:
Thorpe then turned around and told someone in the audience:
LOLz!
Senate President Sue Lines did force Lidia to say the oath exactly “as printed on the card” as is required, which she did with a LOT of attitude!! Check it out (below)!
