A Conservative riding association director in Ontario who posted online comments describing “Indians” as “self-loathing” and the Cree woman recently crowned Mrs. Universe as a “monster” was punted Tuesday from her position after the party became aware of her social media diatribes.Sue MacDonell was on the board of directors for the newly formed Bay of Quinte Conservative riding association. She was also an active volunteer for Bay of Quinte Conservative candidate Jodie Jenkins’ campaign. Campaign officials confirmed she had recently done some door-to-door canvassing in the riding.
All that appears to have ended after the party learned of MacDonell’s social media comments. The party issued a statement through riding association president John Bonn saying MacDonell was forced from her position.
“This morning, the Bay of Quinte Electoral District Association became aware that one of its board members had posted some inappropriate content on her personal social media site, in her personal capacity. Upon become aware of the content, the association required and accepted her resignation effective immediately,” said the statement. “The views expressed by the now former board member will not be tolerated and do not reflect those of the Bay of Quinte EDA.”
APTN National News contacted MacDonell Tuesday morning asking her to confirm her views.
“What about them?” said MacDonell.
MacDonell then hung up the phone after an
APTN reporter read the comments she posted back to her.
