Trudeau swarmed by hostile crowd during event in Belleville, Ontario

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not get a very warm welcome when he arrived in Belleville, Ontario on Thursday.

Nearly 100 protesters swarmed the PM and his motorcade, shouting things like “traitor” and multiple expletives while waving flags with even more expletives.

The angry mob forced Trudeau to cut his visit short, and the incident is now raising questions about how something like this can even happen in the first place.

Acadia University Professor Alex Marland spoke with Trending Now about the incident.
