Leitch campaign manager gloats about spreading false info

Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch’s campaign manager, Nick Kouvalis, admitted Monday night to sharing false information on Twitter, saying he did so to get a rise out of “the left.”

Amidst a growing and disturbing trend of creating and spreading fake information and false news, Kouvalis tweeted a list of “billions” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government had supposedly given in international aid in the last year.

Included on the list was $351 million for the designated terrorist group, Hamas.

After the tweet led first to confusion and then backlash, later Monday night Kouvalis admitted he tweeted the fake list to “make the left go nuts.”
