Fallen Australian personality Pete Evans had an interesting weekend, including calls for a boycott.
First, the former My Kitchen Rules host prompted calls for Coles and Pan MacMillan to stop stocking his products, after appearing on a podcast declaring people with the coronavirus aren’t contagious.
This comes despite Evans previously trying to sell $15,000 lamps that would eradicate the virus from your body. Moreover, he’s said that “sunlight”, “self-love” and “hugging” could work as COVID-19 vaccines.
The absurdity didn’t end there. Unbelievably, Evans took himself to a new low with an image he posted to Facebook last night, which implies that Nazism is a ‘transformation’ of Trumpism.
The post was reportedly a hit with far-right groups.

In the image, a caterpillar wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat tells a butterfly adorned with a Nazi symbol on its wings, “you’ve changed”.
The butterfly replies “we’re supposed to”. Evans captioned the post “an oldie but a goodie” alongside a peace symbol, love heart and rainbow.
He later edited the caption by adding: “There are many different interpretations of this image” and “Peace and love to all always”, followed by a folded hands emoji.
