They're also trying to do it to a parody account of Erica Ifill, a deranged leftist who's harassing a CBC guy for not mentioning a mean email she got in an article he wrote about Trudeau's cabinet shuffle. Erica is not a member of cabinet, nor would she be considered for one as she's not a member of Parliament. OP on Erica vs CBC: https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/15JTyc0iOI/

This account is vile — it’s a disgusting “parody” of
@wickdchiq. If you have a moment to report it, that would be a service.
Folks decrying attacks on the media and harassment of journalists: this is a chance to do a small thing to push back.
The parody account deserved to be suspended. A parody account should not be attempting to cause genuine confusion between themselves and the real person; copying her portrait, bio and username is an attempt to deceive and not merely to mock.
The account's name was KILmore & it had "#parody" in its bio, so no it wasn't "attempting to cause genuine confusion between themselves and the real person"
The real Gilly is also blue-check verified, making it even harder to confuse the 2.

For a woman attacking & harassing a journalist...

Rachel Gilmore, Global News TikTok Reporter, is also the living embodiment of Poe's Law.
It would be impossible to clearly make a clear distinction between the real thing and parody in thie case.
