UN Rights Chief Is An Idiot – Philippine President Duterte

Rodrigo Duterte called a top UN official an “idiot” and “joker” for urging murder investigations be launched against him after the Philippines’ president admitted to “personally” killing criminals while he was mayor of Davao City.

“Law enforcement agencies … must investigate as a matter of course any information that suggests that a crime may have been committed with the view to ensuring that perpetrators are ultimately held accountable -should the evidence warrant it,” Gascon said in a statement.

Duterte also on Thursday threatened to “whack” the Philippines’ money laundering council, a regulatory body headed by the central bank governor, accusing its officials of corruption and failing to do their job.
