Curtis Stigers got into a Twitter fight with Katie Hopkins and it’s the best thing he’s done in years
This is all that matters to me right now after singer Curtis Stigers – you remember – took aim at Katie Hopkins and it blew it up into a right old Twitter rumble.
It started when the former Apprentice contestant turned former Mail Online columnist posted this in the wake of the Florida high school shooting.
My sympathy for the #ParklandShooting is very limited. We should not let kids who are upset make big decisions – particularly on gun control @nowthisnews @NRA pic.twitter.com/69fcdb6XCi

To which Stigers replied…
Katie, as a proud American I’d like to invite you to the United States so you have a better chance of being gunned down like those innocent children you’ve only limited sympathy for.
Also, fuck off, you hideous despicable hate monster. https://t.co/ZnhXk9zdWy— Curtis Stigers (@curtisstigers) March 8, 2018
The sort of message which is probably best described as ‘no-nonsense’. It prompted quite a debate in which Stigers was happy to take part.
Well I’m no fan of Ms Hopkins. But your tweet puts into words everything you appear to be calling her out for. Hypocrisy at its very finest!

How so, sweetie?

The tone and language of the tweet just appear to me to be as venomous as Hopkin’s

False equivalence.
She’s a monster.

Then Hopkins got involved.
The girls told me your nickname at school was Cystitis (@curtisstigers) – except you’re twice as irritating and just as difficult to get rid of. https://t.co/BfZuWM9sSM

See what she did there?
It’s trying its hand at comedy now. Precious little racist. https://t.co/djXbrPE4gm

We can only hope for an encore.
Suddenly I have an immense urge to go out and purchase the entire back catalogue of @curtisstigers #solidaritycomrade
Rest assured Brother Stigers, she only speaks for a tiny, vocal minority and they're all as mad as a box of frogs. https://t.co/AeOlsGadiB

@curtisstigers, as a proud Brit I’d like to apologise for this attention seeker @KTHopkins. Our nation is embarrassed every time she opens her mouth.

We’ve got one just like her but he’s president.

We’re going to buy one of his records just to say thanks. Well, we’re stream one.
