President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani was photographed with a Canadian political candidate who promotes white nationalism and anti-Semitism, The Daily Beast reported.

Faith Goldy, a far-right YouTube personality, is running for mayor of Toronto. She tweeted on Tuesday photos of her with the former New York City mayor with the caption: “Just like Giuliani cleaned up the streets of NYC, our tough on crime playbook is going to run illegal guns & gangs right out of Toronto!”

An honour to meet with America’s Mayor while on the campaign trail.

I can’t wait to become Canada’s Mayor!

Goldy holds ties to white supremacist groups, according to The Daily Beast, and attended the violent “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville as a correspondent for right-wing Canadian outlet Rebel Media. She was fired after appearing on the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer.

She has referred to the white nationalist “14 Words” slogan as a “simple statement of survival.” And, this year, she promoted a Romanian fascist leader’s book about eliminating “the Jewish menace.”
