COVID

Kyle Kemper, the half-brother of Justin Trudeau, claimed public officials – including the Canadian Prime Minister – were “salesmen for the pharmaceutical industry” during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Kemper said his half-brother was “an amazing person” but added that “power in general” was being abused by the likes of Trudeau and President Joe Biden.

The fifty-minute interview began with a COVID discussion. Kemper told the former Fox News anchor that there was a “war on COVID” akin to the war on terror in the wake of 9/11. He also highlighted the constant “fear” around the virus before the persistent “hope” for the vaccine, claiming that “something [was] amiss”.

“And you see, all the sudden, public officials, like my brother, out there being effectively salesmen for the pharmaceutical industry,” Kemper said.

The father of five also criticized handling of counter information surrounding COVID. He explained how he was barred from Twitter for calling the jab “a fake vaccine” for its inability to completely stop transmission and infection after a “boasting tweet” by the Canadian Prime Minister about vaccination numbers.

Canada is set to hold a Federal Election before the end of 2024. Trudeau’s nine-year premiership is under threat from Pierre Poilievre’s rejuvenated Conservative Party, although Kemper believes his sibling is not seeking re-election given the “negative energy” in the country at present.

Following the interview, Kemper received compliments from social media users.
