Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch refused to answer a direct question about whether she's worried racists will support her leadership bid.

In an interview with AM640's Kelly Cutrara Monday afternoon, Leitch was asked about comments she made one day earlier on CTV's Question Period. Leitch was defending her embrace of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump — and accused rival candidate Michael Chong, who she was debating on the show, of calling her a racist.
