Earlier this month, Hahn shared a video of a diver at the Paris Olympic Games with a prominent Star of David on their arm, jumping off a diving board before turning into a bomb that falls on civilians. The narrator in the video calls the diver an "Olympic champion." During an unrelated news conference on Wednesday, Premier Doug Ford described Hahn's post as "bigoted" and said it has no place in Ontario.
