So, this is Kellie Leitch. As you may or may not know, she's running to be the next leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, based mostly on a hardline immigration policy.
Leitch laid out her vision on her Facebook page this week, with a video that is unintentionally hilarious and cringeworthy.
The eight-and-a-half-minute video is a masterpiece of avant-garde filmmaking.
There are long, unnecessary pauses, contemplative looks off camera, awkward meandering around the room — and the whole thing is delivered about 50% slower than Leitch's normal speaking voice.
People are super confused.
Holy shit. Is Leitch actually totally baked in this video? https://t.co/XJ9Kw3umZH
I can't stop laughing at that Kellie Leitch video. Who thought it was a good idea to put something that awkward out in public?
Many could not get over how poorly made the whole thing is.
I made many terrible student films, and I can honestly say they were all better planned/shot/edited than Kellie Leitch's propaganda film
Or some of the strange, uh, acting choices.
Hi I'm @paulisci and I'm running for Conservative leader (sits down) (stands up) (looks to left) (camera pans) (sits down) (looks to right)
"Hello, I'm the ++Rev. Kelly 'Kellie' Leitch, LMAO, and I'm running for the leadersh—" /spins head 180° to follow wayward camera operator
Someone even collected all the awkward pauses, breaths, and faraway looks in one place.
@paulisci if this helps in any way.
People compared it to Breitbart's infamous interview with White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
Kellie Leitch is now taking production and staging tips from Breitbart
And '90s HR training films.
That Kellie Leitch video almost looks like an awkward HR training film from the 90s. Needs more stock footage though.
...And acid trips.
Watching that Kellie Leitch video is giving me the Heebie-jeebies, if heebie-jeebies were on acid and halfway to the moon in a space toilet
They struggled to understand.
Me after watching that Kellie Leitch video...
Was there some kind of malfunction?
btw does Kellie Leitch always deliver speeches like she's receiving the transmissions in batches from a glitchy orbiting satellite?
I am so convinced Kellie Leitch is a cyborg.
Someone get Melissa McCarthy on the phone.
The perfect person to play Kellie Leitch.
Anyway, there had better be a sequel.
Leitch has released her next values video
