What did Catherine O’Hara say about Trump?
As Trump made comments on the US acquiring Canada and making it the 51st state shortly after taking office, Catherine O’Hara slammed him. In an interview on TheWrap's UnWrapped Podcast, she said that the 79-year-old's remarks were only ‘unifying’ Canadians.
“God bless Canada. God bless Canadians. The only good thing out of this is it’s unifying Canadians and building a little nationalism that they deserve … that we deserve," she said.
O'Hara stated that she is proud of her Canadian roots. She added that Trump's suggestion ‘makes me just really want to be in Ontario, Canada, right now’.
“It makes my skin crawl.”
