GOP Rep Claims Trudeau Fled Truckers To “Hide” In US

CNN reports:

Rep. Chip Roy, a Texas Republican, has twice in the past three days promoted a fictional online rumor that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fled to the United States because of a protest in Ottawa by a group of truck drivers and others opposed to vaccine mandates, Covid-19 restrictions and Trudeau himself.

Roy’s tweets appeared to have been prompted by a tweet from an anonymous Twitter account that calls itself “Terror Alarm.” On Saturday afternoon, that account tweeted, “#Urgent: Justin #Trudeau moved to A safe place in the US according to Israeli sources, as Canada protests spark security fears.”

But the photo the account used in the tweet — showing Trudeau and his family in the foreground and an American flag in the background — actually had been taken in 2016, upon the Prime Minister’s arrival in the US for an official visit to Washington.

Read the full article. Roy, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, recently appeared on JMG when he called for a return to literal lynchings.

If Justin Trudeau is hiding in the United States, we should return him to Canada and make him face his own people immediately.
