Peloton star Cody Rigsby has savaged Rishi Sunak over his views after he claimed to like his Britney Spears exercises.
The Prime Minister has boasted about how he’s a eager follower of the American health teacher. He instructed a podcast in 2021: “He is definitely my long-time favourite, which means you have to listen to a lot of Britney. But you know, no bad thing in trying to get you motivated.”
But Mr Sunak has been left embarrassed after Mr Rigsby used an interview to denounce his angle in direction of trans folks. He instructed The Times that it was “cool” for “someone with so much political clout and power within one of the biggest economic powerhouses in the whole world” to take pleasure in his exercises.
But he added: “I don’t agree with some of the stuff he said about gender recently, but that’s on him, you know. Whatever.” It is believed he was referring to the PM’s speech to the Conservative Party convention in October when he mentioned: “We shouldn’t get bullied into believing that people can be any sex they want to be. They can’t. A man is a man and a woman is a woman — that’s just common sense.”
Mr Rigbsy added: “I… kind of find it hard that a man starts his day working out to a flamboyant gay man, rocking and riding to Britney Spears and Beyoncé, has such a narrow view on gender.”
Asked if he thinks asylum seekers arriving within the UK needs to be despatched to Rwanda, Mr Rigsby mentioned: “Absolutely not… What is that? Is that a thing that’s happening? Oh, that’s way above my pay grade. I don’t know s**t about that, babe. You can deport people to Rwanda? How does that even work? Is Rwanda a British colony? That makes no sense.”
Questioned on Brexit, the Peloton star mentioned: “I still don’t understand it, to be honest. I’m like, OK. But hey, I’m going to let you guys make your own decisions.”
Since turning into PM in October 2022, Mr Sunak has admitted that his train regime has slipped. As he took half in a 10km race in his constituency in North Yorkshire final 12 months, the 43-year-old instructed fellow individuals: “I haven’t done any exercise in a long time.”
