$8 Million?! Marine Injured in Afghan Attack Rips Trudeau for Payment to Terrorist
A former Guantanamo Bay prisoner who killed a U.S. soldier and injured another in Afghanistan recently received an apology and an $8 million check from the Canadian government.
Omar Khadr, a Canadian citizen, claimed Canadian officials violated his rights while he was detained at the U.S. facility in Cuba.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended the settlement during a press conference at the G-20 summit in Germany.
“The charter of rights and freedoms protects all Canadians, every one of us, even when it is uncomfortable," Trudeau said. "When the government violates any Canadian’s charter rights, we all end up paying for it.”
Now, the Army veteran who lost eyesight in one eye due to a grenade thrown by Khadr during a 2002 firefight, Layne Morris, is blasting Trudeau and the Canadian government.
"It's totally offensive. This man kills somebody and he gets then a check for $8 million?" Morris said on "Fox & Friends" this morning. "Even if the guy's rights were violated, that's worth $8 million?"
He said that Trudeau must live in a "sick, twisted ivory tower" to think that this represents any type of justice.
Morris claimed there was "deliberate intent" on the part of the Trudeau government to shield Khadr from any legal repercussions and grant him a massive settlement - and an apology - in secret.
"This totally sucks. It's just crazy that you'd give somebody like that $8 million because his feelings got hurt," Morris said.
