Police Minister Mark Mitchell's office has been reposting racist tropes on Instagram, attacking Maori. The account falsely claimed the Te Pāti Māori MP’s ancestors came from China and "were yellow Vikings".
Mitchell's 'spokesperson' said it was "an honest mistake". As if the Minister was mistakenly being racist and it wasn't his default setting.
Mitchell's office has apologised to Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke.
