This is a very lame excuse that does not hold up.    Show us the job posting and tells us about the other candidates who applied.     This is pure patronage and there IS NO EXCUSE.

The only thing lamer and more pathetic than this excuse would be to invent a syndrome  - call it "TDS" or (Trudeau Derangement Syndrome) then use it going forward to blame the press and any and all criticism from others using this fictitious syndrome, "TDS".      That would be pathetic and lame....     right, people?
