Andrew Scheer denounces attempts by Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party to conceal candidate’s antisemitic behaviour

September 4, 2019
For immediate release

Toronto, ON – The Leader
of the Conservative Party of Canada, Andrew Scheer, released the following
statement about reports Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada
attempted to conceal the antisemitic views of one of their star candidates:

“Racism, bigotry and religious intolerance have no place
in Canada. What’s worse, in this particular case, is that we now know Justin
Trudeau knew about this individual’s extremist views and support for terrorism
and tried to conceal them from Canadians.

“This candidate also revealed that, despite knowing his
views, Trudeau supported and was ‘pleased’ with his candidacy for the Liberal
Party of Canada and was working on a strategy to downplay his extremism and
keep him as a candidate.

“It is clear that this individual felt his extremist views
would be right at home in Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party. Trudeau talks a big
game when it comes to condemning hatred and bigotry, but when it comes to antisemitism
in his own party, he’s just not as advertised.”
