Andrew Scheer Rejects Accusations He's Soft On Islamophobia - 2019-03-23

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer tried to dismiss accusations Saturday that he and his party have not done enough to distance themselves from groups that advocate violence against the Muslim community.
Speaking at the annual Manning Networking Conference, the Tory leader was asked by someone in the audience why he was unwilling to condemn Islamophobia.
"I don't believe that's true," Scheer responded, noting that the House of Commons unanimously passed a motion earlier this week condemning the terrorist attacks against two mosques in New Zealand and the need to "confront hatred, Islamophobia, and white supremacy, in all their forms."
