Former PM Kim Campbell calls Trump expletive on Twitter

Source: CTV News

Former Canadian prime minister Kim Campbell used the same expletive to describe U.S. President Donald Trump as a newly elected Democratic congresswoman who is now under fire for her comments.

Campbell, Canada’s first female prime minister, tweeted just before 10 a.m. on Saturday: “He really IS a mother------!” Campbell attached a video of Trump reiterating his call for a border wall, despite zero support from House Democrats to support the marquee plan.

Campbell’s sharply-worded tweet comes one day after video surfaced of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Detroit, telling supporters at an event on Thursday that Democrats were going to “Impeach the mother------.”

And the boy has lived down to those expectations. Probably with a lot less understanding of how to play both sides since the boy only had to deal with the entitled part.

We should just secede, dump our share of debt on the remaining states and join the Canadian confederation.

Former PM Campbell is a true gem.
