Trudeau kicks Raybould out of caucus

Jane Philpot was also kicked out:

Tonight I was expelled from the caucus of the Liberal Party of Canada. Sadly the decision was made without me being provided any opportunity to speak to national caucus. This is profoundly disheartening for me, my staff and my family – and I know people in Markham-Stouffville will also be disappointed.

 

I was accused publicly by people in caucus of not being loyal, of trying to bring down the Prime Minister, of being politically motivated, and of being motivated by my friendship with Jody Wilson-Raybould. These accusations were coupled with public suggestions that I should be forced out of caucus.

 

These attacks were based on inaccuracies and falsehoods. I did not initiate the crisis now facing the party or the Prime Minister. Nor did Jody Wilson-Raybould.

 

Rather than acknowledge the obvious — that a range of individuals had inappropriately attempted to pressure the former Attorney General in relation to a prosecutorial decision — and apologize for what occurred, a decision was made to attempt to deny the obvious — to attack Jody Wilson-Raybould’s credibility and attempt to blame her. That approach now appears to be focused on whether Jody Wilson-Raybould should have audiotaped the Clerk instead of the circumstances that prompted Jody Wilson-Raybould to feel compelled to do so.

  1. Lol. The moron king perpetuates his own slo-mo demolition. Maxime Bernier brilliantly silent.

  2. You would think Trudeau would have kept his mouth shut and let this thing blow over… And I hate to say it but he is locking horns with an indigenous female! Very bad idea…

    • Yes her father was or is a West coast Chief and was fairly formidable. She wants to ultimately be PM. Perhaps a fairly radical left PM, but I hope not..
