Aussie TV host says Donald Trump is staring at his wife’s ‘t**s’ and all his supporters need an ‘IQ test’ in on air gaffe
AN Australian TV presenter has been caught out saying live on air Trump supporters should be forced to take an "IQ test" and saying the Republican nominee was staring at Melania's "t**s" when they went to vote.
Virginia Trioli, an ABC News 24 host, was covering the US Presidential election on Wednesday Down Under and thought her live feed had crossed into an ad break.
However everything she said was heard by those watching on the web as she discussed her thoughts with her team.
According to she commented on a picture of Donald Trump and Melania going to make their vote and the billionaire was staring at his wife's ballot paper.
However in Trioli's view, she said she thought he seemed to be "looking at Melania's t**s."
Then when a member of the crew removed glasses of water from her desk was brought to her by a crew member she could be heard saying Trump supporters “should be subjected to an IQ test” before they voted.
Trioli's comments were heard by social media users and they took to Twitter to alert the presenter to the fact her comments were being heard.
