"Miłosz Kłeczek z TVP bezradny. Szymon Hołownia zgasił go jednym zdaniem

Ostra riposta Szymona Hołowni
Szymon Hołownia nie pozostawił Miłosza Kłeczka bez odpowiedzi. – Wierzę głęboko w obiektywizm pana redaktora i w to, że z równie krytycznym spojrzeniem i bezwzględnością przyglądał się tym podpisanym in blanco blankietom ustaw składanych w ubiegłej kadencji przez klub PiS – podkreślił.

Gdy przedstawiciel TVP nie odpuszczał, marszałek Sejmu stwierdził, że chce powiedzieć bardzo wyraźnie, że posłowie powinni znać ustawy, pod którymi się podpisują. – To, że posłowie nie mają pojęcia pod czym się podpisują, stało się przez ostatnie osiem lat tradycją. Pan powinien być absolutnie bezwzględny w egzekwowaniu tego, by posłowie wiedzieli pod czym się podpisują. Zachęcam pana do dużej odwagi, choć pewnie nie muszę, w tym zakresie – komentował.

"Michał Wiśniewski nie wytrzymał! Jednym zdaniem zgasił uczestników Twoja Twarz Brzmi Znajomo

Michał Wiśniewski ostro o uczestnikach TTBZ
Wokalista powiedział to, co widzowie zauważyli już dawno? Takie komentarze pojawiły się pod postem programu na Instagramie, w którym zamieszczono pełną wypowiedź wokalisty Ich Troje. Michał Wiśniewski w gorzkich słowach podsumował wybory gwiazd show.

Myślę, że byłoby absolutnie na miejscu, gdybyście dzisiaj, przyznając punkty, przyznali je według tego, co nosicie w sercu, co wam podpowiada głowa, a nie wzajemna adoracja - podsumował.
