‘Today, we had enough of it and I called them out for lying, which they did lie. And I will say it again out here, they lied today in the House of Commons.’
(LifeSiteNews) — Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP Raquel Dancho was kicked out of the House of Commons yesterday for refusing to apologize for accusing a Liberal MP of “lying” about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s federal gun grab legislation.
Dancho, who serves as the CPC’s shadow public safety minister, said in a press conference after the incident that she was ejected from the House of Commons for “telling the truth.”
“I was raised by a very strong woman who told me never to back down from the truth,” said Dancho.
“Today, we had enough of it and I called them out for lying, which they did lie. And I will say it again out here, they lied today in the House of Commons,” she added.
The incident occurred in parliament after Liberal MP Vance Badawey accused the Conservative MPs of obstructing the passing of Bill C-21, saying they are acting as “part of the problem, versus being part of the solution.”
This characterization of events caused Dancho to yell out, “you are lying.”
Anthony Rota, who serves as the House of Commons Speaker, immediately stopped the House proceedings and asked Dancho to apologize.
“I withdraw the statement, Mr. Speaker,” said Dancho.
Rota then again asked Dancho to apologize, which she refused to do.
After a short time, Rota asked Dancho to “withdraw from the house and video conferences for the remainder of this day’s sitting.”
Leader of the CPC, Pierre Poilievre, reacted to the event saying he was “proud” of Dancho for standing up for legal gun owners.
