According to reports last night he suggested that Japan should
follow the nazi example of how to change the country’s constitution
stealthily and without public debate. He retracted the statement amid
bitter protests from neighboring countries and human rights groups, but
has today refused to resign or apologies over the remarks. He said his
comments were misunderstood and only meant to say that loud debate over
changing the post-war constitution is not helpful.
The government has said it will not be seeking his resignation either.
It’s not the first, or likely to be the last time the finance minister has put his foot in it.
Among other comments he once accused the elderly of being a burden on society an joked about Alzheimers disease.
Look around you folks, this is how most of these people in positions of power think. I mean we're really not that far off are we?
