A photograph of Justin Trudeau in brownface and wearing a turban at a 2001 "Arabian Nights"-themed costume party was published in Time on Wednesday night. Soon after, Trudeau apologized, saying he now realizes it was "racist."
Today, Vassy Kapelos, host of Power & Politics, joins Jayme Poisson to talk about the reaction to the news and potential fallout for a leader who has positioned himself as a champion of diversity and inclusion.
