The silence from Kenney today on hate groups assaulting anti-racism protestors in Red Deer is deafening.

When a statue was destroyed, he and several UCP ministers spoke strongly about "rule of law".

When people are attacked, he is silent.

The world is watching.

The UCP cannot continue to pay for ads and War Rooms pushing the premise of "Ethical Oil" while pandering to a base of hate, fear, racism, and conspiracy theories.

Using Leela Aheer is not enough. Check her FB, how supporters are cheering on the violent counter-protests

This is your base, UCP. So stirred up with fear of fake terrorists that they are motivated to become them.

At worst, you are inciting this. At least, you are complicit.

Do something. Say something. Stop the hatred and divisiveness and care about human beings.

Kenney is still silent on FB, and has released a small statement on Twitter. Let& #39;s compare the statement of violence against anti-racism protestors to the statement about vandalism.

Can you spot the differences?

Update: he posted it to FB. This is the first response from his base "Every top job is being taken over by somebody that& #39;s not from this country it& #39;s a bunch of bulshit"

His FB mods will be busy. Will he denounce the bigotry of his base in his own comments section?

...Unlikely

@jkenney - Until you denounce the racism and hatred of your own base, you& #39;re being complicit in the radicalization of political discourse.
