Juno News - Patrick Brown uses far-left tactics to attack Pierre Poilievre

00:00:00.000 But it isn't just CTV and journalists like Glenn McGregor who are doing this nonsense.

00:00:05.400 Unfortunately, it also comes from within the conservative party.

00:00:09.700 So this week, we also saw Patrick Brown unleash a campaign against Polyev, basically using

00:00:15.660 the same line of attack, but coming from a different angle, saying that Polyev supports

00:00:19.820 a conspiracy theorist called Pat King and the supposed white replacement theory.

00:00:25.780 So here's a tweet from Patrick Brown saying that just that, let me read it.

00:00:28.620 He says, here is Pat King, a leader of the convoy, Pierre Polyev supported spreading the

00:00:33.920 dangerous white supremacist white replacement conspiracy theory, which was reported to have

00:00:38.700 been in the Buffalo Shooters Manifesto.

00:00:40.940 I condemn this hate and call on Pierre to do the same.

00:00:43.520 And then you pointed this out to me, Harrison, maybe you can walk us through what this tweet,

00:00:50.060 if we can just go back to that tweet for a second, what that was.

00:00:53.740 Yeah, so what you're seeing here is a video posted in 2019 by an account called Vests Canada.

00:01:02.700 Now, those three arrows pointing down, that's sort of the symbol of the anti-fascist radical

00:01:09.040 left.

00:01:10.080 And I just went on to that account's Twitter page, and they openly put out, they put in

00:01:16.860 their bio, anti-fascist exposing the yellow vest Canada movement.

00:01:21.840 So what you have here, Candace, which I think it's, to use the word contemptible, I think

00:01:28.280 this fits the definition.

00:01:29.420 What you have here is a conservative leadership candidate sharing an account that is basically

00:01:36.900 run by radical leftists trying to demonize conservatives, trying to demonize the right,

00:01:42.680 and using it to basically attack Pierre Polyev, and reaching, I will say, as well.

00:01:47.820 Because what you also have with this line of attack from Patrick Brown, Candace, which I

00:01:51.700 don't understand, he is using the same tactics as Justin Trudeau.

00:01:56.540 Justin Trudeau told Canadians that if you were a part of the, if you were supporting the truckers,

00:02:01.000 then you were also, you were also basically in favor of the one person waving the swastika

00:02:06.680 flag, or the one person waving the Confederate flag.

00:02:09.020 And we all rightfully said that that was, that was terribly divisive.

00:02:13.060 But Patrick Brown is now saying that because Pierre Polyev supported the trucker convoy,

00:02:18.020 he is now basically being lumped in with Pat King, someone who even the convoy organizers

00:02:23.420 distanced from because they find his views to be horrible.

00:02:26.740 So what we're seeing here is, is fundamentally not conservative at all, Candace.

00:02:32.500 They're using a radical far left Twitter page to launch attacks on conservatives.

00:02:38.920 And I think conservatives and Canadians should know about this sort of thing, and frankly,

00:02:43.400 be generally upset about it because it's horribly divisive.
