The RCMP confirmed Monday that it is looking into a threat of sexual violence directed at Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's wife, Anaida Poilievre. MacKenzie made several racist and derogatory remarks about Anaida Poilievre's Venezuelan background in the stream. Anaida Poilievre was born in Venezuela and grew up in Montreal. Pierre Poilievre was elected Conservative leader earlier this month and Anaida Poilievre works as a political staffer on Parliament Hill. "I 100% agree with Pierre Poilievre on this," Gerrettsen said in the tweet.
