Do you remember that slice of insanity Lincoln Jay and I encountered in Toronto last month?

We were at an advance poll in the Liberal stronghold riding of University—Rosedale, asking people how they voted. 

Then, we came across a man named Jeffery Johnston. He told Rebel News he was unable to vote as he is not a full Canadian citizen. Nevertheless, he was storyworthy — for all the wrong reasons.

Transplanted American tells us Hitler was “misunderstood” & that Nazi concentration camps had tennis courts & pools. And of course, 6 million Jews did NOT die in the Holocaust (he reckons 200,000). Where does he get his info? And no, this was not a prank… https://t.co/6h4LYEpXHb

Jeffery said he was an American who previously resided in the free state of Florida, until he ended up marrying a Canadian woman. She was unable to relocate to the U.S. due to her job, so he found himself north of the border and was in the process of becoming a Canadian himself.

His ideology and idiocy made for a descent into madness. He expressed that Adolf Hitler was misunderstood. He noted that Nazi concentration camps weren’t as bad as generally thought, given that these camps sported swimming pools and tennis courts for the “guests.” Predictably, he felt that Jews and Israel are to blame for all the problems in the world.

So why are we reiterating this content now?

Because Toronto Police have now arrested and charged a suspect in the menorah vandalism case — and it appears to be none other than Jeffery Johnston.

According to this updated Toronto Police Service news release, a 31-year-old Toronto man has been arrested and charged in connection with the alleged hate-motivated vandalism incident at a Jewish community centre.

As we previously reported, Toronto Police had released surveillance images after a hateful individual was caught on camera kicking over a menorah and damaging property outside the centre.

Suspect Sought in Suspected Hate-Motivated Mischief to Religious Property Investigation near Avenue Road and Davenport Road. This unknown male suspect knocked down a Menorah causing it to be damaged.

When those images were first released, we immediately noticed striking similarities to the same Jeffery Johnston we encountered while reporting at an advance polling station in University—Rosedale.

We have identified a direct match of this individual @TorontoPolice

This is the same individual that @TheMenzoid of @RebelNewsOnline interviewed recently who praised Hitler & denied the Holocaust.

He is American & NOT a Canadian citizen. His first name is Jeffrey. https://t.co/g3lzZ5GxTo pic.twitter.com/aYl9xIoWuj

At the time, we said we were “99.9% sure” the suspect was Johnston, based on the distinctive headphones, eyeglasses, jacket, and appearance.

We also contacted Toronto Police to share our footage and observations, though at the time there did not appear to be much interest in what we had uncovered.

Now, with an arrest having been made, it appears our suspicions were well-founded.

And assuming the allegations are proven in court, one thing is crystal clear: if someone comes to Canada from abroad and engages in antisemitic vandalism and hateful conduct, they should not expect to remain guests in this country indefinitely.

Sorry, we already have more than our fair share of home-grown haters. We don’t need imports. Let's make deportation great again!
