His refusal to condemn the disgraceful tweet from Gerald Butts shows Trudeau quietly endorses such horrendous demonization of democratic critics.
During Question Period, Justin Trudeau was given numerous chances to condemn the horrendous tweet from Gerald Butts that compared Trudeau critics to “Nazis.”
Here’s what Butts tweeted:
As the Conservatives pointed out in Question Period, the tweet by Butts – who Trudeau has said in the past speaks for him – is deeply disturbing.
It points to a government that will stop at nothing to demonize people who criticize them, and that demonization often leads to terrible abuses of government power and the brutal suppression of free speech and free expression.
That’s why Trudeau’s response in Question Period would be so important. He was given a choice between condemning the dangerous and divisive rhetoric of Gerald Butts, or he could support it through his refusal to condemn it.
As you can see below, even when given numerous chances, he didn’t condemn it, showing his true agenda is to tear our nation apart for his own selfish benefit:

Growing evidence of a dangerous Trudeau agenda
The past days and weeks have seen the Trudeau government muse about suppressing speech (disguised as confronting ‘hate speech’), regulating Facebook, and attacking judicial independence.
People are seeing clear and growing evidence that the Trudeau government is seeking to expand their ability to suppress democratic opposition.
That is something that all Canadians – regardless of our political views – must oppose.
