Katie Hopkins Supporters Out In Force After Migrant Article Despite Petition To Get Her Fired

Katie Hopkins is currently embroiled in a media storm after calling migrants "cockroaches" in the same week that up to 900 may have died in one horrific tragedy.

An online petition to get her fired as a columnist for The Sun has been signed by 212,000 people and counting.

But despite the outrage the outspoken personality still has plenty of supporters. There are these adoring gushers...

I still love Katie Hopkins #soznotsoz

Not sure where the political angle comes in...

Katie Hopkins captures everything I love most about Great Britain #VoteSNPgetScotland

Some arguments for support are a little more nuanced.

Katie Hopkins is trending again! I love the furore she creates. You can't gun down immigrants but it's fine to gun down Hopkins. #irony

But this person just seems wonderfully confused...

I totally agree with Katie Hopkins, if we had shot all the immigrants then my room wouldn't be this messy.

For some their views on migrants jar sharply with their distaste for Hopkins.

I hate Katie Hopkins with a passion but i agree with her with what she said about migrants, however she is still a 'See You N T' #Wanker

While some are coming to terms with their views, however hard that may be.

Hah, it must mean I am a total bellend aswell considering I agree with most of what Katie Hopkins says. #truthhurts

Katie Hopkins is like that fucking annoying fly from the breaking bad episode. Why is she everywhere? Why can't I slap her with a shoe?

— beth riley (@bethaliceriley) April 20, 2015

Pity Katie Hopkins: having to feed her children on the proceeds of her hate. Ever fearing the day karma decides to regurgitate.

— Mr Gee 诗人 (@mrgeepoet) April 20, 2015

Just read THAT Katie Hopkins column. Why was it printed? What anger is she processing? Why is she not arrested for a hate crime?

Oh well, can't please everyone...
