"#BritishColumbia 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.
“I hate #antisemitism. It’s the most crushing, most horrible, toxic thing that can come into a society,” Brodie said in an interview on Monday.
Brodie also described unusual behaviour from the caucus staffer, including wearing sunglasses and a surgical mask at public OneBC events, which she said was an apparent attempt to hide his identity.
Brodie said her then chief of staff, Tim Thielmann, and party interim executive director Paul Ratchford had hired the person and tried to protect him when she sought his firing last week."
