Poilievre denounces Diagolon 'losers' over threat of sexual assault against his wifePierre Poilievre says he has asked the RCMP to look into \u0022disgusting\u0022 comments made by a far\u002Dright group founder. Where is Trudeau? Where is RCMP? A few months ago he brought them coffee and donuts. But at that point they were only harassing and assaulting other people, so I guess that makes sense. 🤷♂️ Threatening rape is never appropriate. That is obvious. I have not seen the clip where he said this but everyone seems to be talking about it. I 100% do not support PP. I however would never wish harm to his family. Violence is not the answer.
