City of Yarra councillor Stephen Jolly has taken to Twitter in response to my interview exposing him as an ignorant fool on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

This cowardly cunt rang me and said he was a school student. Definitely sounded like one with his pussy voice. I felt sorry for him and talked to him. He never said his was a rat and taped the convo to edit and chop for publication

The facts:

1. I introduced myself as Avi from Rebel News
2. I clearly said I was calling for a story we were doing on his anti-Israel motion
3. We did not "edit and chop" his words for publication.

Listen to the THREE phone calls yourself and decide.

I'm not sure claiming I told him I was a student helps his case much. Who swears at a child as he did?

This is how the internet is reacting the councillors tweet:

We know who the real Coward is and it's not Avi . Filthy mouth Jolly , just putrid ! .

Strange, I've just listened to the audio and he said he was from Rebel Media.

Umm Stephen, there’s a video of the conversation and he clearly introduced himself.

Also, as a councillor I would assume your constituents would expect better from you. This is a poor and distasteful tweet.
