‘You’re a piece of lying s---! And your media, too’

A heckler’s remarks to journalists at a Toronto campaign stop, as transcribed from CBC news footage.

Reporter: What are you saying? He didn’t lie about anything?

Man: Of course not. What is the? You guys and your fantasy, ah, scandals amount to zero. You’re the one who didn’t ever cheat on her tax return? Duffy made a few, a bit of cheating on his tax return, and you’re turning it into an issue.

Reporter: Why do you think that he has no right to ask about the (Duffy) deal? He believes Mr. Harper knew. Why do you think Mr. Harper didn’t know anything?

Man: Because it isn’t a deal. It’s a nothing. Harper doesn’t read income tax forms, you idiot! It’s done by the people in the tax department.

Reporter: But you don’t believe that anybody else in that office knew any . . .

Man: ( Interrupting) I believe that you cheat more on your taxes than Duffy ever did.

Reporter: Why would you say I cheat on my taxes?

Man: Because you’re a lying piece of s- - -. ( To another reporter) Yeah, and you too! You’re making an issue out of Duffy, he’s a nothing!

Another reporter: He’s in court right now . . .

Man: Harper has produced good government. It’s nothing! It’s nothing! It’s zero! Nothing! Zero! (Security asks him to leave)

Reporter: Do you believe any other people in the office knew . . .

Man: I think you’re a piece of lying s- - -! And your media, too, with you!

Another Reporter: Sir, what’s your name?

Man: (Led out by security) Go stuff yourself!
