Former prime minister Dr Keith Rowley has accused Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar of hypocrisy, claiming that while she now condemns racial attacks and bigotry, she previously directed similar remarks at him when she was Opposition Leader.
In a statement yesterday, Rowley said Persad-Bissessar’s recent complaints about racist rhetoric rang hollow because she had once referred to him as “an Oreo in the service of the one per cent.”
