Smith was asked about Johnson during a news conference in Calgary and she said her decision is final — despite saying last Friday she believed in redemption and second chances.
Five days after saying a United Conservative candidate who compared transgender students to feces in food could be given a second chance, leader Danielle Smith has repeated that the woman wouldn’t sit in caucus if her party forms government.
Questions are being raised again about Jennifer Johnson’s status as a UCP candidate after a social media post Tuesday night by someone from her constituency association suggested she’s still a member in good standing and could enter caucus in the near future. The Facebook post was deleted Wednesday and replaced with one from the constituency board that said the message was posted by a volunteer who does not reflect its views.
“Our leader has been clear that Jennifer Johnson will not sit in UCP caucus if she is elected,” said the post.When asked about Johnson’s status during a news conference in Calgary, Smith said she has been clear.“I’ve made a decision she will not be sitting with the UCP caucus,” she said. Last Friday, Smith said on CTV Calgary’s morning show that Johnson would have “a lot of work to do” to find her way into the party’s caucus.“She’s got a lot of proving to do.”
