WATCH | 'How many kids did you molest?' Canadian PM Mark Carney heckled during election campaign

Story highlights

WORLD | The new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was seen visibly shocked after a heckler asked him about his alleged involvement with child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was seen visibly shocked after a heckler asked him about his alleged involvement with child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The heckler asked "How many kids did you molest with Jeffrey Epstein?" during the campaign for the upcoming election in Canada.

In a video circulated on the social media platform X, Carney was seen addressing a large pool of people when suddenly the heckler interrupted him with his not-so-pleasing question. The Canadian PM suddenly stopped his speech midway and looked back at the audiences as a huge hooting came after the question. He was seen shocked, uncomfortable and awkward as he tried continuing with his speech. He was somewhat laughing at the question.

The comment comes in response to recently shared photos that appear to show Carney with Epstein’s longtime accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

“This is another example of how Pierre Poilievre and [his PR head] have always played politics, and it shows again how terrified they are to fight Mark Carney," a Carney ally previously told the Toronto Sun.

Jeffrey Edward Epstein was an American financier and child sex offender. Just after a month of his arrest over sex trafficking charges, he died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019.
