the minister is disgusting, her reference to tabouleh is a way to imply that Rempel Garner is somehow a racist without engaging her question. It's like when AOC went off about black and indigenous cowboys at Munich to avoid engaging with any of the content of Rubio's speech. The left does this all the time, rather than offer any defense they just shout "racism" or "islamophobia" or "transphobia"
Critiques a minister's rhetorical strategy as avoiding substantive policy debate by invoking identity-based accusations.

It's got nothing to do with Putin, or at least very little. Trump wants the tariff money for his billionaire tax cuts. That's it.\n\nEveryone is making this much more complex than it is.
