The incident happened on the fourth anniversary of Flight PS752, which was downed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, killing over 200 people, including 55 Canadians. Menzies is seen attempting to sidestep the RCMP officer as he questions the Deputy PM. The officer then grabs the reporter and declares,
You’re under arrest for assault!
Menzies asks the policeman,
How am I under arrest? You bumped into me!
When asked why he was arrested, Menzies was being informed by one officer that he was “almost pushing everybody over.” Upon being handcuffed and arrested, Menzies said,
Welcome to Blackface’s Canada. They treat journalists like this. I was just playing around with Minister Freeland.
He continued,
This is your Canada now folks. This is the gestapo taking Blackface’s orders. Outrageous. And meanwhile, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is not a terrorist organization.
Ezra Levant of Rebel News brought up the issue of his detention as well, letting everyone know that they will be suing the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for assault, wrongful confinement, and false arrest. Subsequently, Andrew Lawton of True North said that he verified Menzies’ release without facing any charges.
