Tony Clement was the focus of media coverage for three straight weeks for sexting and committing adultery, but Kent Hehr only mustered three days worth of coverage over allegations about his own sexual misconduct. Imagine that. What a time to be alive!

It doesn't end there for Kent Hehr. In a now infamous story, he told Fiona Sampson and other thalidomide survivors in 2017, “Everyone in Canada has a sob story.” This happened while Hehr was Trudeau's Minister of Persons With Disabilities. Yes, that's a thing.

That's not something a minister of disabilities should be allowed to say, but in Justin Trudeau's world, it is. Kent Hehr was barely reprimanded, until the allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced in 2018. It was only then that he resigned from cabinet, not caucus, and was eventually (falsely) vindicated by an investigation conducted by Liberals.

Sounds familiar, doesn't it?





A Free Pass For A Sob Story

Much of Kent Hehr's appeal to Liberals comes from his own sob story. The reason Kent Hehr gets away with what he gets away with is because he's in a wheelchair. In 1991, Kent Hehr was shot in a drive-by shooting and it left him crippled.

Woe is me. According to his own logic, everyone has a sob story. Sorry, Kent, that doesn't mean you get to be a prick to everyone else. When you're on their payroll, you owe them a service. They're called taxpayers and they keep you employed.

But don't worry. Come October, you should be able to retire comfortably.
