Kenney hides his newest caucus member from media

For immediate release
October 11, 2018

EDMONTON – Jason Kenney hid his newly sworn in MLA Devin Dreeshen from the media today, instead of using the swearing-in ceremony, normally open to press gallery members, to clear the air on questions surrounding his campaigning for Donald Trump in 2016.

Dreeshen, who has previously been criticized for hiding in a bathroom to avoid answering questions on why he campaigned for Donald Trump for nearly a year, has avoided media once again.[1]

Dreeshen needs to answer to Albertans why he chose to campaign for Donald Trump.
