The Yang Hui-ju Internet Army scandal has become the latest point of contention between the blue and green camps. Kuomintang presidential candidate Han Kuo-yu recently poked fun at himself by saying he and Democratic Progressive Party vice presidential candidate William Lai, as well as Taipei City Mayor Ko Wen-je, are the "three cyberbullied brothers." In response, Ko said he and Han's relationship would be good if Han hadn't decided to run.


Legislative Speaker Su Jia-chyuan, former Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng, and Taipei City Mayor Ko Wen-je all attended the opening ceremony of the Taiwan Healthcare Expo on Dec. 5. They were not positioned together, so no interaction was seen among the men. Kuomintang presidential candidate Han Kuo-yu recently jokingly referred to himself, Democratic Progressive Party vice presidential candidate William Lai, and Taipei City Mayor Ko Wen-je as the "three cyberbullied brothers." When asked to comment, Ko said he's more innocent.

You know, I'm more… and I'm receiving criticism when I'm not even running for president. The two of them are running for office, so that is what you call a known risk. Look at me, I'm not running but I'm still being criticized. That's what it's like nowadays. If you stretch your neck out, you'll be hit until you see stars. (So, do you want to be his brother?) Honestly speaking, we had a pretty good relationship before he decided to run.

I absolutely support my party. As for Mr. Han, I've already said many times that I supported him running for mayor and support him doing a good job as mayor.

Wang was asked if he would share a stage with Ko. He responded that the affairs of Ko's Taiwan People's Party are its affairs, and sincere support is real support, not just sharing a stage. He added he will adhere to his own position and ideals.

Support is not limited to sharing a stage. Sometimes the people on the stage say things that are contradictory with what you believe.

(Ruan Jhao-syong said he's not a member of the Frank Hsieh faction. Is he distancing himself?) Ruan Jhao-syong is not a member of the Frank Hsieh faction? (He said there's no longer a Hsieh faction.) That's right. It's a fact that the entire faction withered away after Frank Hsieh left Taiwan.

The issue of Democratic Progressive Party factions has come under scrutiny due to the Yang Hui-ju Internet Army scandal. Ko said the Frank Hsieh faction has already withered away, while TPP legislator-at-large candidate Tsai Pi-ju said during a radio interview that New Power Party Legislator Huang Kuo-chang won't get elected and urged everyone to vote for the TPP instead. Ko said it wasn't necessary for Tsai to say this, and he believes the risks are too great with the NPP's election strategies.



台灣醫療科技展開幕，立法院長蘇嘉全、前立法院長王金平，以及台北市長柯文哲都出席，但是因為被安排的位置有差距，幾乎看不到互動，針對國民黨總統候選人韓國瑜，自嘲和民進黨副總統候選人賴清德、台北市長柯文哲，是網路被霸三兄弟，柯文哲則回應，他比較無辜。

台北市長 柯文哲表示：「我比較是什麼你知道，我又沒有選總統也要被打，他們兩個要選總統，那是叫預期的風險，像我這個沒有(要選)還被打，這個時代就是這樣，只要出頭就會棒打出頭鳥。（所以你想和他當兄弟嗎？）老實講，他要不是去選舉，他跟我平常以前交情也不錯。」

前立法院長 王金平表示：「我絕對支持我的黨，那麼韓先生，我當然說過好幾次了，我是支持他選市長，支持他做好市長。」

會不會幫柯文哲站台，王金平直言民眾黨是民眾黨的事，還意有所指的表示，不是站台才叫支持，真心的支持就是實質上的支持，他會謹守自己的立場與理想。

前立法院長 王金平表示：「不是說站台才叫支持，站台的有些人根本話講得跟他內心想的不太一樣。」

台北市長 柯文哲表示：「（阮昭雄說他不是謝系，是切割嗎？）阮昭雄不是謝系？（他說現在沒有謝系。）對啦！其實謝長廷離開台灣以後，整個謝系急速萎縮這是事實。」

楊蕙如網軍風暴持續延燒，引發民進黨派系問題，柯文哲也認為，謝系在萎縮，而民眾黨不分區被提名人蔡壁如在廣播節目中，斷言時代力量立委黃國昌選不上，要大家把票投給民眾黨，對此，柯文哲認為，蔡壁如沒有必要講，但時力的選舉策略，他認為，風險太大。
