A mainstream media Global News reporter is having difficulty coping with new Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and interrupted his Tuesday press conference several times.
Poilievre was speaking about inflation and housing costs when Global News reporter David Akin began his meltdown, interrupting repeatedly until Poilievre had enough.
“Look — we have basically a Liberal heckler who’s snuck in here today,” Poilievre said.
“Oh, I’m a Liberal heckler. I’m David Akin, and I work for Global News,” heckler Akin responded.
“Are you going to let me make my statement? I’ve actually never seen you heckling the Prime Minister before…” Poilievre said before Akin interrupted him yet again.
Akin continued whining and talking over the new Conservative leader.
“You get two questions at the end. I’ll take questions at the end – thank you very much,” Poilievre said.
Poilievre chirped Akin one more time, calling him a Liberal heckler again. He then said he would restart his announcement.
