Heh: Trudeau Lumps Muslim Parents With Far Right

The Daily Mail reports that "Muslim parents in Maryland ripped Justin Trudeau saying much of the fear over LGBTQ themes in schools was fueled by American right-wing extremists, with one mother saying Trudeau effectively called her a bigot." 

    Last week, Trudeau spoke to parents at a mosque in Calgary after hundreds of Muslim parents gathered in Ottawa on June 9 and 13 to protest against LGBTQ education in schools.

    Trudeau told the Calgary crowd that 'people on social media, particularly fueled by the American right wing' were stirring up the protests and said they were pursuing their own interests.

    The Canadian leader said that LGBTQ issues were being weaponized and what is shared in the media is not accurate. 

    However, a family in Maryland took exception to his comments saying: 'When we spoke, we were categorized as the right wing. We were categorized as bigots.'

Canada's petty tyrant essentially stated that criticism of "aggressive teaching or conversion of kids to being LGBT" in school curriculums was not happening and the subject was being weaponized by the "far right". To which Muslim parents in the U.S. responded:

    'I take much offense to what he said,' Binnish Mustafa, mother to a seven-year-old special needs child. 'This is something that really affected us here in Montgomery County.'

    She said Trudeau was ignorant about the reality in US schools, saying he 'really needs to go to the public school classroom and sit there and see the discussions that follow certain classroom books that are being discussed.'

    She accused Trudeau of being intolerant of views different to his.

    'I would say, Mr. Trudeau, how accepting and tolerating are you of views that are different than yours?' she added.

    'I mean, you don't seem like the nicest guy when it comes to that.'

Of course Trudeau thinks they--the Muslims opposing LGBTQ curriculum materials--are bigots. But he also knows he can't say it, so he instead has to say that they are just being misled by the one group that not only is everyone expected to hate, but are encouraged to hate: white conservatives.
