Pierre Poilievre Claims He’s Never Heard of ‘Diagolon’. He’s Not Telling the Truth. Here are the Receipts.
Poilievre claims he’s never heard of Diagolon, a far-right extremist group he previously reported to police for threatening his wife.
The leader of the Conservative Party of Canada is having a hard time keeping his stories straight about a group of far-right extremists.
Over the weekend, Pierre Poilievre left many scratching their heads after claiming he had never heard of a far-right extremist group called “Diagolon” before, even though Poilievre is on the record previously admitting he’s heard of the group.
Diagolon is an online community revolving around a group of far-right influencers. They have been documented displaying neo-Nazi symbols and making antisemitic and anti-Muslim statements. The Emergencies Act Inquiry’s final report notes that law enforcement views the group as a “potentially dangerous organization.”
During an interview with Sudbury.com this weekend, Poilievre was asked about his past interactions with “extreme right-wing” groups, including Diagolon.
Curiously, rather than acknowledge his past run-ins with the group, Poilievre instead claimed he did not know what Diagolon was.
After being told that Diagolon has been labelled “extremist” by law enforcement, Poilievre disputed that characterization and insisted this was “an example of gaslighting by NDP liberal extremists”. |Read more|
