Chairman of the People's Party confronted with criticism during street campaign, volunteer's candy distribution sparks controversy

Not long ago, the chairman of the People's Party, Huang Guochang, went to Changhua for a street campaign. A passing elderly man shouted at him "stupid and vulgar," which led to Huang Guochang's staff directly trying to plug his mouth with an unopened candy, causing controversy. Huang Guochang mentioned this incident in a recent interview, saying that different political positions should respect each other, communicate rationally, and discuss issues. Using abusive language to scold volunteers during the New Year period, even shouting, is not a good action.

Huang Guochang said, "Shouting is not a good action," and this statement caused a large number of Taiwanese netizens to find past videos of Huang Guochang shouting in the Legislative Yuan, with comments such as "Does Huang Guochang have no memory?" "This is the funniest joke I've heard this year," and "Who shouts more than you, Huang Guochang?"

One of the people who was yelled at, Ku Kuo-wen, a legislator from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), released a photo from May 2024 showing Huang Guochang yelling in his ear. Ku Kuo-wen said that what he saw today was the funniest thing. Huang Guochang responded to the incident where he was shouted at, stating that shouting is not a good action. When faced with the public's "stupid and vulgar" remarks, the volunteers of the People's Party tried to plug the mouths of the citizens with candies and then blamed the DPP for dividing society. The members of the People's Party can insult President Lai Ching-te with "three-character slang," but when the public says "stupid and vulgar," they want to silence them by plugging their mouths? This is the scale of the People's Party.

"Do you remember Huang Guochang publicly insulting me?" Ku Kuo-wen said. At that time, Huang Guochang had a high-handed and self-important attitude, thinking he was very impressive. However, when he encountered the public's "stupid and vulgar" remarks during the campaign, he couldn't bear it, and it turned out to be extremely fast and unimaginable.

Ku Kuo-wen said, the funniest part is that facing frequent public insults, Huang Guochang dared to respond with "shouting is not a good action." As a habitual shout-er, how could Huang Guochang's words be acceptable to me, Tsai I-yu, and Fan Yun, the victims of his verbal abuse?
