OneBC party split over staffer's 'disgusting' views on Jews, says ex-leader Brodie

OneBC party split over staffer's 'disgusting' views on Jews, says ex-leader Brodie

The article is relatively short and has tons of stuff, highly recommend people read through it.

British Columbia legislator Dallas Brodie, whose OneBC party has removed her as leader, says the split happened after colleagues tried to stop her from firing a caucus staffer whose views on Jewish people were "disgusting" and antisemitic.

Brodie said she wanted the man removed because she is not a "neo-Nazi," and it was "obscene" to think that the man's views could be in the party.

......

Thielmann says in a social media post on Monday that he and Ratchford advised Brodie against firing the staffer, who he calls "a 22-year-old brown kid who was being made out to be a 'white supremacist'" and they instead wanted to "mentor" him.

.......

Brodie said she had clashed with the young staffer over a message he wanted to post under her name on social media platform X.

"I think it said the NDP or somebody is anti-civilizational, and that they want the province to be run on drum circles and powwows," she said.
