Katie Hopkins: Airing divisive views is ‘brave and bold’
Former Apprentice contestant Katie Hopkins says airing controversial views in public is a “brave and bold” thing to do.
The businesswoman and The Sun newspaper columnist admitted she was “outraged on a daily basis” but denied she was a “professional figure of hate”.
“I iterate the stuff that you can’t say anymore,” she said. “A lot of people know it’s the truth that they say behind closed doors.”
Asked whether she was ever hurt by responses to her views on the internet, she said, “Not at all.”
“I have put myself out there. You have to accept that people’s view of you might not be favourable.”
