Heckling of Jagmeet Singh
Video of Jennifer Bush heckling Jagmeet Singh from the Brampton Focus
On September 6, 2017 Jennifer Bush yelled Islamophobic comments while heckling New Democratic Party (NDP) leadership candidate Jagmeet Singh. The incident took place at a campaign event organized by Jagmeet called "Jagmeet and Greet" in Brampton, Ontario.
Jennifer Bush went on stage and accusing Jagmeet of being tied to Muslim extremists, despite without any evidence, especially since Jagmeet being Sikh not Muslim. She accused him of being “in bed with Sharia (law)” and the Muslim Brotherhood. Jagmeet Singh reacted to Jennifer Bush's comments by leading the crowd in a chant for “love and courage” as the woman shouts inaudibly. He also said, “We don’t want to be intimidated by hate,” and “We don’t want hatred to ruin a positive event.” Before the tirade, she introduced herself as Jennifer and stated that she came to the event since Jagmeet had not answered her calls.
After about four minutes, during which people around Singh try repeatedly to coax the woman out of the room, she eventually leaves of her own accord.
When she left, Jagmeet said, “You know growing up as a brown-skin, turbanned, bearded man, that I’ve faced things like this before.
It’s not a problem.
We can deal with it.
There’s going to be other obstacles that we’re going to face and we’re going to face them with love and courage.”
Motivation
Jennifer Bush explains why she heckled Jagmeet Singh @Ford Fest
In the video, she explained that she knew that Jagmeet Singh was Sikh not Muslim and explained that her opposition to him was based on his policies.
She also stated that her objections were not about color or religion and that she has worked with Hindus in her opposition to Jagmeet. Specifically she was against his strong opposition to banning the niqāb a cloth that covers the face which some Muslim women wear. [1]
She is also opposed to Jagmeet's support of Motion 103 which states that the members of the House of Commons call on the Government of Canada to condemn Islamophobia in Canada and "all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination". It also calls on the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage to carry out a study on how racism and religious discrimination can be reduced and collect data on hate crimes.

In the video, she also criticized Jagmeet Singh for being denied entry into India. [1] Jagmeet's visa had been denied after he spoke out about the killing of 3,000 Sikhs in New Delhi and elsewhere after the assassination of Indira Gandhi on Oct. 31, 1984, by her own bodyguards. While the Indian government called the killings the 1984 anti-Sikh riots Jagmeet stated he believed that it was "a state-sponsored massacre" or a genocide.
