Luigi Pantisano describes Tino Chrupalla as the “biggest flat nose pliers” in Berlin

Luigi Pantisano from the Left attacked AfD leader Tino Chrupalla in an ARD program with the label "biggest flat-nose", whereupon Chrupalla countered that he had paid more taxes than Pantisano had in his entire life. The debate escalated with further accusations of lies and mendacity, while SPD General Secretary Tim Klüssendorf described the mutual insults as unbearable. The term “flat-nose pliers” was also previously used by AfD politicians such as Alice Weidel and Ulrich Siegmund.
