Things are going just swimmingly for Justin Trudeau. And by “swimmingly,” we of course mean “pretty terribly.” He held a press conference this afternoon to discuss his embiggening blackface scandal — and he maybe should’ve practiced his responses a little more:
Trudeau asked again if he has learned of other blackface incidents since last night. He's dodging the question again.

I asked Trudeau twice if there were more than three incidents that he wore black face. He didn’t answer.

Colleague @ReporterTeresa follows up with another question about more incidents. Trudeau says he is reluctant to be definitive because he didn’t remember one of the incidents that came it light last night. So he is not definitively saying there won’t be more pictures.

Trudeau is asked if there are more instances of brownface. He speaks about efforts his administration has made to combat racism, but never answers that question. pic.twitter.com/3M4YejNpDF

Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is imploding here as he dodges answering whether he wore blackface on more than three different occasions. "I am wary of being definitive." pic.twitter.com/mplzuImjTE

Oooooof.
Trudeau said he didn't mention this during Liberal vetting because he was too embarrassed about how stupid and racist it was. When asked how many times he's done it, he said he can't remember because he never thought it was a big deal.

So you’re a hoser, Justin, is what you’re saying.

"Mr. Prime Minister, how many times did you dress in blackface?"
"Exactly the number of times you have, or will have, pictures of."

Does Trudeau wear blackface … casually? Like, does he unwind after a hard day at work by pouring himself a drink and dabbing on a little shoe polish? https://t.co/ZkvrE4NgDH

If it’s easier, maybe Justin can tell us the number of occasions he *hasn’t* worn blackface. https://t.co/1No4uc7wS4

Seems pretty likely at this point that Trudeau has spent more of his life in blackface than out of it https://t.co/ZkvrE4NgDH

You know, there’s something very familiar about this …
Trudeau being asked how often he’s worn blackface is now reminding me of Weiner being asked back in the day if that really was his dick in the photo: “I can’t say with certitude” https://t.co/ZkvrE4NgDH

Snort.
