Servant of the People MP Liza Bogutskaya praised the speech of Black MP Jean Belenyuk from the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada on Facebook.
Even in the comments under her post, not everyone liked Bogutskaya's connotation about Belenyuk.
Bogutskaya's party colleague Geo Leros called her post a "shame."
In the comments under Leros's post, Bogutskaya was not treated gently, including by well-known journalists — Sergei Ivanov, Roman Skrypin, Sergei Grishin, and Petr Shuklinov.
Former MP Borislav Bereza did not hold back in his remarks about Bogutskaya.
In response to the statements directed at her, Liza Bogutskaya wrote a new post in which she denied discrimination against Belenyuk, emphasized their friendship, and also revealed that her daughter was born from a mixed marriage with a Moroccan during her student years.
Liza Bogutskaya became known after she justified, in correspondence with someone, the reappointment of Arsen Avakov as Minister of Internal Affairs as a "coup" that former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko supposedly is preparing.
