This asshole is literally going to kill British Columbians by denying reality.
British Columbia
News, highlights and more relating to this great province!
His bitch ass response belies a truth we should highlight.
He's perfectly comfortable spouting bullshit replies to questions he doesn't understand.
John Rustad is unfit to govern.
He gives off creepy old guy flat earther vibes. Also he would not have to apologize for horrible statements if he never made them in the first place.
Rustad sometimes forget that dog whistles are a supposed to be heard just by the dogs and not by regular people.
At this point he was just yelling "YO MY WHITE SUPREMACY DAWGS" on a megaphone and people still vote for him.
"Any attempt to compare or equate the Nuremberg Trials or Nazi Germany to the COVID-19 pandemic is completely inappropriate and unacceptable," he wrote. "I strongly condemn any such comparisons and reaffirm my commitment to preserving the integrity of historical truths."
British Columbia Conservative Leader John Rustad says he "misunderstood the question"
I mean... Fair if he did indeed misunderstand what was being asked.
In the video, a participant asks Rustad if he is "for Nuremberg 2.0."
At first, Rustad doesn't seem to hear the question. But then, after the questioner repeats "Nuremberg," Rustad responds:
"Nuremberg 2.0? Ah, yes ... That's something outside the scope in terms of the jurisdiction of British Columbia. But we would certainly be participating with other jurisdictions as we look at those sorts of issues," he answers.
In the video, Rustad goes on to say that he would form a panel made up of "some people who are impacted ... a labour lawyer ... and a few other experts, in terms of being able to give advice to government."
"I have not given thought to what a final panel should look like. That's sort of the thing that's in my head in terms of the approach we should be looking at," he says.
Too bad for him he was caught on video understanding the question by claiming to have given thought to an official panel for such a thing.
