Neil Mitchell has called on the “elites” to lay off Scott Morrison.

He says the Prime Minister is being unfairly mocked about his religion.

Mr Morrison is a Pentecostal Christian.

“He’s being mocked in the elite media as a happy clapper,” Neil Mitchell said.

“He’s been sent-up in cartoons and letter writers as a happy clapper.

“There is plenty of reason to criticise Scott Morrison – religion is not one of them.

“Really? Imagine mocking a Muslim for wailing and lying on the floor? Or a Jew for not eating pork or wearing a skull cap? Lay off him.

“He should not be a target for what he believes in.

“But the elites are after him.

“I think it’s unreasonable.

“I think it’s un-Australian.”
