The X account of Solomon, the former TV host running to represent Toronto Centre on Parliament Hill, accidentally shared a meme Tuesday from a parody account of Mark Carney that showed the Liberal leader stepping off a red and white campaign bus.

However, the message on the photoshopped bus mocked Carney, which had a slur referring to mentally challenged people in giant letters and “World Economic Forum” below in a smaller font.

“Let’s get to work,” the account wrote on the post.

It’s unclear if Solomon or one of his staffers reposted the Carney parody, which was removed a short time later.

Eagle-eyed followers on social media caught the snafu, including Conservative Candidate for Calgary Nose Hill Michelle Rempel Garner who shared an image of the repost before Solomon deleted it.

“Oh no, lol,” Rempel Garner wrote alongside a grimacing emoji.

Social media piled on Solomon for the unforced error.

“Excellent journalism skills from my former colleague Evan Solomon,” wrote Dahlia Kurtz.

“I’m happy to see him finally helping the cause by reposting a parody account mocking his boss. Mazal tov, Evan!”

Another suggested that Solomon may not even know Carney’s official X account.

“I would think twice before voting for him,” the commenter wrote.

Solomon, the 56-year-old former host of CBC’s Power & Politics and CTV’s Power Play and Question Period, left his job as publisher of New York City-based GZERO Media and as a member of Eurasia Group’s Management Committee to run in the election.
