Fox contributor slams Canadian official’s complaint against Mexico

Fox News Contributor Tammy Bruce accused a Canadian official of bigotry who said it was “offensive” for the US to compare his country to Mexico.

Ontario premiere Doug Ford made a comment to Associated Press this week after the election of the president Donald Trump threatened to impose a 25% tax on all goods entering the US from Canada and Mexico.

“Comparing us to Mexico is the most insulting thing I have ever heard from our friends and closest allies, the United States of America,” Ford said. “I consider his comments unfair. I found them offensive. It’s like someone in the family stabbed you right in the heart.”

Bruce picked up on Ford’s assertion during Friday’s meeting prevail.

“In particular, the thing that struck me — I don’t call a lot of things racist — but to complain about being compared to an ancient great civilization is very strange,” Bruce said. “This is an ancient people united with the people of Spain. The history of this, hundreds of years. The impact on South and North America is impressive. And to be upset because you are compared to Mexico is disgusting.”

Bruce then lashed out at the president of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum for what he said Mexico would be “unable” on closing the border with the United States.

“She’s the new president, right?” Bruce said of Sheinbaum. “She should reassure people at home. She didn’t run as a Conservative, and she, like Canada, understands that this country’s economy, this country’s manufacturing values ​​and this country’s capabilities make this continent work.” Bruce continued:

So they must seem tough on their people, but Mexico is now in chaos because of the impending flood. They allow them to pass through the southern border. She can stop it there because it affects Mexico too. And she knows they can stop it at this border. There is no negotiating room for Mexico, especially on what comes through China, the fentanyl that comes through the northern border. So she knows what to do, Trump will make sure of that. Canada understands what’s going on, so they better put on their big boy pants and deal with real adults.
