I don’t think that any politician or his/her family should have to deal with harassment and threats.
That said, to suggest Poilievre did not know who he’s been playing footsie with for many months now is disingenuous since I and many, many, others knew exactly who they were.

I am disappointed,

@PierrePoilievre
, discussing the sexual assault of his wife is out of bounds. She may have made herself a target for the usual political jabs, but this is criminal and out of bounds.

@PierrePoilievre
That’s why I said it is completely u acceptable. Having been on the receiving end of the rape and death threats, I am highly sensitive to it.

I’m also a former political staffer for a leader of the official opposition. We had a team dedicated to oppo and research. And even outside of OLO, we researched who our bosses were meeting, marching and appearing on radio/tv with (podcasts weren’t a thing then). Good luck to you
@scarchadula
If he wanted this to just be about the threats against his wife, he should’ve written a different tweet.
She definitely did not deserve that. No woman does.
@lisakirbie
read your tweets, basically everyone of them says: I, I, I, I, I, confused, who named you the go to person for approval? Hey PP, in the future check with kirbie first before you make any moves for approval: after all she is "I" person:
@lisakirbie
How do you justify the inane statement *playing footsie* for *many months*?
Shaking hands with someone, after having met tens of thousands of similar looking Canadians, is courting extremism?
Do you understand how incoherent, and how disqualifying of you, that connection is?
@ItsDeanBlundell
But the photo with MacKenzie wasn’t Poilievre’s first exposure to the Diagolon movement.On Canada Day,the Conservative leadership hopeful marched with James Topp, another Canadian Forces veteran who has appeared numerous times on MacKenzie’s podcast.
@lisakirbie
This shows Pierre has very bad judgment of people. It means his security team knew who they were, but didn’t mind.
@CPC_HQ
Pierre pretends he didn’t know.
