Ontario PC candidate Donna Skelly has been responding after a photo of her emerged this week. It is a photo of her holding a hat with a controversial right wing website’s name on it, taken at an event for young conservatives. She took to twitter saying:

“To clarify, I was invited to a Christmas party by Mohawk McMaster Young Conservatives. I mingled with the crowd was handed a hat on my way to the podium after speaking to a young man. I had never met him or heard of this group before. I stayed for 20 minutes and left before he spoke.”

She then denounced harmful and hateful acts and words.
