Left-wing commentator on CTV News claims Trump is 'kidnapping' and 'killing' US citizens

Kathleen Monk told CTV's Vassy Kapelos that Canadians are "horrified" by the Trump administration's immigration enforcement actions.

On Tuesday's live stream, Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle reacted to public affairs consultant Kathleen Monk claiming that President Trump is 'killing' and 'kidnapping' U.S. citizens while appearing on CTV News' Question Period over the weekend.

Speaking to CTV host Vassy Kapelos on Sunday, Monk asserted that the U.S. president is 'kidnapping' and 'killing' his own citizens, presumably speaking about immigration enforcement actions in Minnesota.

"Americans are watching as President Trump chooses to kidnap and kill his own citizens as opposed to lowering prices. Canadians are watching that in horror and want our government to chart a new path and a new way forward," she said.

Lise condemned Monk's remarks for inflaming tensions between Canada and the U.S. unnecessarily. "This is the kind of language that absolutely poisons relations," she said.

"As we are tiptoeing into a negotiation with the United States of America, do we want 'strategists' for labour unions ... do we want their reps being on television and saying things like this, or do we want to stay out of American affairs, especially when they're so hot," Lise continued.

Monk's comments come after two individuals, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, have been killed in recent weeks following altercations with federal immigration officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

    I hope Trump sues that stupid woman. She certainly deserves to be sued for making an outrageous statement like that.

    Messed up people say messed up things.

    There’s something I don’t understand about these fruitloops. Those lefties can find out all sorts of personal information about someone, including home address and probably also what they had for breakfast or the colour of their socks. When they do find it, they won’t hesitate to use it to their advantage.

    Yet, they’ve never provided any solid proof that Trump was a “convicted felon” or that he did something even more sordid. When I went to school, being charged for an offence is not a conviction, neither is an accusation. Besides, convictions are often overturned by higher courts for lack of proper evidence or a violation of procedures. Acquittals like that are valid if it’s for one of them but not for one of their enemies (e. g., Trump).

    One would think that with all that fancy-schmancy technology and techniques that are available, nobody’s provided proof of “concentration camps”. Inquiring minds want to know.

    But, we live in an age in which whoever flings mud first wins, regardless of whether they hit something or if the other side throws more in response.

    What a ding bat! Let’s see real proof, not suppositions based on Trump Derangement Syndrome. And ICE is enforcing the law. By that wacko’s standard, any police officer arresting a citizen is guilty of kidnapping.

    I’ve concluded that TDS is a legitimate mental disorder. I came to that conclusion a few days ago.

    I used to check in with a certain YouTube channel and I often enjoyed watching the video presentations. Then the owner made one in which he described how one could avoid having one’s smartphone tracked or monitored. I took that as a hint that he didn’t like Trump and certainly didn’t support ICE.

    Then I checked his website and his latest entry was a long, illogical, and, often, incomprehensible screed about Trump, Republicans, and capitalism, saying much the same as what’s-her-name just did on CTV. He claimed he got much of his information from “unbiased” news sources as the BBC, which he believed was more truthful than, say, Fox News.

    Suffice it to say that I won’t watch any more of his YT material.

    There are other nutters like him out there, such as the American nurse who recently advocated for the poisoning of ICE personnel (including going out on a date with an agent and poisoning his food). She uploaded her suggestions to the Internet and her employer heard about that. She was promptly put on “administrative leave”.

    When’s the next flight to Mars and can I still get a ticket?
