Peter Navarro said Canadian lobbyists should ‘get the hell out of our country’

One of U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade advisers is threatening repercussions for Canada if it “interferes” in the upcoming midterm elections — though it’s not clear what he anticipates the country would do to impact the vote.

    Calling it now if Republicans lose they will blame Canada in interfering in the election. Hell if any Republican lose they call foul and say it was stolen.

      They were already doing that anyway.

      They’ve been preparing every excuse in the book to justify suspending/interfering with the midterms. Always commenting about elections in wartime, ‘hostile’ govts (old allies), China, Iran, Cuba, and now Canada. They’ll probably cite health concerns too with all the recalls and flu season kicking in. Just declare it an emergency and act like that justifies whatever.

      And as it is now October in an election year, expect to hear about the advent of the ‘MIGRANT CARAVAN’ to steal your jobs and make you trans.
