CUPE Ontario president appears to strike independent journalist during far-left protest
Video shared by independent journalist Caryma Sa'd purportedly shows Fred Hahn launching an unprovoked attack against her videographer.
On Tuesday's live stream, Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle reacted to shocking footage appearing to show CUPE Ontario President Fred Hahn physically attacking a videographer during a demonstration in Toronto.
During a far-left counter-demonstration opposing a pro-Canada rally at Queen's Park over the weekend, Hahn can be seen on video getting into a physical altercation with independent journalist Caryma Sa'd's videographer.
It's unclear what sparked Hahn's apparent outrage from the footage. "Don't hit me! Don't hit me Fred!" the man filming the incident can be heard shouting.

Chants of "You Fascists Bound to Lose" can be heard in the video from demonstrators protesting alongside Hahn in Toronto.
Sheila shared her initial reaction to the video after seeing it for the first time earlier this week.
"So I watched this, and out of the corner of my eye I was like, 'Why is Rosie O'Donnell assaulting Caryma's videographer?' This is what happens when men get over-soyed," she said.
Hahn previously served as the Ontario vice-president of the national CUPE (not CUPE Ontario), before being voted out of the position after claims of antisemitism earlier this month.
