Former Progressive Conservative prime minister Kim Campbell caused a stir online when she referred to U.S. President Donald Trump with a profanity over the weekend in a nod to a speech that landed a newly elected Democratic U.S. congresswoman in hot water earlier this week. Former prime minister Kim Campbell has since deleted this tweet. (Kim Campbell/Twitter)The now deleted tweet echoed the language used by Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib during an event on Thursday while predicting the new House will impeach President Donald Trump. Dean Del Mastro, who served as former prime minister Stephen Harper's parliamentary secretary and as an MP, called Campbell's tweet "simply unacceptable." In 2016 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed her to chair the independent advisory board tasked with coming up with a short list of candidates for the Supreme Court.
