'Suck It Up, Buttercup' lawmaker hangs up on As It Happens

Listening to the segment is well worth the 2 minute investment.




That's ridiculous, they were just asking him a basic question. sounds like he's the sensitive one since he can't take people challenging him. There was a decisive win, but it doesn't take away the 1st amendment rights of people.
This is hilarious, but not particularly surprising--in my personal experience, people who get upset about things like protests and trigger warnings tend to be unusually thin-skinned themselves.
Kind of a prerequisite to being this upset about them to begin with.
