CANBERRA, Australia — An Australian teen known around the world as “Egg Boy” has conceded that egging a far-right senator was not the right thing to do, but says the gesture united a world reeling from a white-supremacist’s alleged massacre of 50 Muslims in New Zealand. Ever since he cracked the egg that divided the nation, Melbourne teenager Will Connolly, better known as #EggBoy, has been both vilified and dubbed the “hero of the Earth”. Will approached us to set the record straight. #TheProjectTV pic.twitter.com/31VogQPs5C — The Project (@theprojecttv) March 25, 2019Anning has been widely criticized for blaming Muslim immigration for the racist attacks. Connolly said he is embarrassed that the international attention he has attracted with the egging has distracted attention from the victims of Christchurch.
