The scandal over the Canadian Parliament recognizing and honoring with a standing ovation a man who turned out to be an ex SS Galicia fighter, from an outfit accused of widespread war crimes, is burning out of control.

The speaker of the Canadian House, Anthony Rota, had already apologized and assumed the responsibility for the terrible blunder, but that didn’t seem to be enough,k so today he resigned as speaker – will still be an MP.

Associated Press reported:

“The speaker of Canada’s House of Commons resigned Tuesday for inviting a man who fought for a Nazi military unit during World War II to Parliament to attend a speech by the Ukrainian president.

Just after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered an address in the House of Commons on Friday, Canadian lawmakers gave 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka a standing ovation when Speaker Anthony Rota drew attention to him. Rota introduced Hunka as a war hero who fought for the First Ukrainian Division.

Observers over the weekend began to publicize the fact that the First Ukrainian Division also was known as the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, or the SS 14th Waffen Division, a voluntary unit that was under the command of the Nazis.

‘No one in this House is above any of us. Therefore I must step down as your speaker’, Rota said in Parliament. ‘I reiterate my profound regret for my error in recognizing an individual in the House during the joint address to Parliament of President Zelensky’.”

Reactions were not what the Canadian government would have expected. The Russian Foreign Ministry accused PM Trudeau of making Rota as a ‘scapegoat’, and made a veiled allegation that Deputy Prime Minister Christina Freeland is a descendent of Ukrainian Nazis.

Sputnik reported:

“Russian FM spokesperson Maria Zakharova commented on the resignation of the speaker of the Canadian House of Commons: “Rota was made a scapegoat, taking Trudeau and his associates, among whom, I should remind you, are descendants of collaborators from the The Ukrainian Insurgent Army, out of harm’s way. For the Nazi slogans “Glory to Ukraine”, which greeted Zelensky, no one apologized.”

Jewish entities are also on war footing over the Canadian government ties with Nazi-friendly sectors of the society.

Dr. Efraim Zuroff, chief Nazi-hunter of the Simon Wiesenthal Center:

“How can you glorify people that are mass murderers? What do you think Jews feel, how do you think the Poles feel, when someone like Shukhevych is turned into a national hero, and Bandera, and others? These people fought with the Nazis for a victory of the Third Reich, the most genocidal regime in human history. And therefore, they cannot be heroes.”

CNN loves to brag about how they are the network that focuses on “facts first.” But it turns out that one of their prominent anchors got a basic fact wrong while interviewing Matt Gaetz of Florida and was thoroughly humiliated as a result.

CNN anchor Abby Phillip was interviewing Gaetz Friday and prefaced a question by claiming the Florida Congressman had voted against a defense appropriations bill on a procedural motion known as a “rule.”

There’s just one problem: Politico notes Tuesday’s vote there were five members who voted against the rule: Reps. Andy Biggs of Arizona, Dan Bishop of North Carolina, Ken Buck of Colorado, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, and Matt Rosendale of Montana.

On Thursday, Buck and Norman changed their minds and supported the rule, but Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Eli Crane of Arizona had switched their votes to no.

The conservatives were protesting what they saw as a lack of spending cuts.

Gaetz voted yes on the rule both times. But Phillip was too lazy to do basic research and Gaetz called her out.

An embarrassed Phillip then ended the interview.

Phillip: I should note that you did vote against the defense appropriations bill this week, the rule to…

Gaetz: Abby, this is going to be a very embarrassing moment when the internet corrects you on this. I voted for the defense rule both times.

Phillip: Well, I, uh, stand corrected. Congressman, thank you for joining us tonight.

With “journalists” like Phillip, it is no wonder why CNN’s ratings are in the toilet.
