Pornstar Appearance in NDP Campaign Video Raises Eyebrows in Canada
Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada’s far-left New Democratic Party (NDP) caused a stir on the web earlier this week when he appeared in a campaign video with adult entertainer Jessica Wetzstein, also known as Jessica “Wetz.” The two have now parted ways after Wetzstein’s previous comments about the Holocaust came to light.
The self-styled “health and human rights” activist operates an account on Onlyfans, a billion-dollar subscription porn site where she peddles “hot and wild pics and vids” and “uncensored/explicit PPV content.”
Singh, who is currently running to become Canada’s next Prime Minister, previously collaborated with Wetzstein on a video about expanding universal healthcare, but in their most recent video, the 29-year-old sex worker, donning a Palestinian keffiyeh, criticized Canada and the U.S. for supporting Israel in the Gaza war.
“As Canadians, we’re proud the American military does not get to decide what goes on inside our borders,” Wetzstein says in the clip. “Palestinians deserve the exact same thing,” she adds.
Singh then chimes in and says Canada should not be engaged in trade with Israel, “especially a Netanyahu government that violates human rights.”
However, according to reporting by the National Post, things took a turn on Thursday when the NDP found a Tik Tok video in which Wetzstein compares Israeli politician Amit Halevi’s comments regarding Palestinian babies to comments Nazis made about Jewish children in order to justify the Holocaust.
“We disagree with the comparison that was made. Nothing should be compared to the Holocaust,” NDP spokesperson Anne McGrath told the National Post. “This individual will not be participating in future campaign events.”
Wetzstein has since made a video response criticizing the party and confirming she is no longer on the campaign trail with Singh.
“I had a chance to stand up for marginalized groups, but [they] threw me under the bus they invited me on,” Wetzstein said.
