The fallout over Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s comments about the RCMP and its leadership continued Wednesday as he sought to recast his assertion that some people deserved jail time for the last Liberal government’s missteps.
“Many of the scandals of the Trudeau era should have involved jail time. I mean, Trudeau broke the Criminal Code,” Poilievre said.
Poilievre said Trudeau would have been charged criminally for accepting a vacation from the Aga Khan, a family friend who had dealings with the federal government, “if the RCMP had been doing its job.”
A Conservative source told CBC News that there was “tension” inside the party’s caucus room Wednesday morning over what some MPs feel was a step too far by Poilievre.
It’s kinda funny that guys like Pierre avoided traditional media due to them being hard on him. But the worse sound bites from Pierre and Danielle Smith was when they go mask off in these platforms that cater to the right wing.
The whole thing of trying to get him to apologize feels like a they’re down playing a 43 year old who’s been in politics for 2 decades deliberately trying to stir the pot.
I can’t imagine what else is going to come down before next year’s leadership review.
