Finally speaking to the press at city hall on Wednesday, Mayor’s older brother, Councillor Doug Ford, came forward to defend him against an alleged video that shows him smoking crack and making offensive remarks. Doug straight-forwardly stated that “If the mayor wants to make a statement, his press secretary will notify the media,” adding in a frustrated manner that “there is no reason for you to be staking out his house and following him around town.”
Doug continued in an annoyed tone, asserting that “I’m here today because you’ve been asking me for my comment–I’m here to give you my comments.” He alleged that “I’m not speaking for the mayor. The mayor is my brother, I love him, and he’ll speak for himself.” Upon inquiry by an impulsive reporter, who abruptly asked “when?” Doug replied “he has already addressed these allegations three times on Friday, I don’t know how much more he can say.” Doug assuredly acclaimed that “Rob is telling me these stories are untrue, that these accusations are ridiculous, and I believe him. I will always support my brother as the mayor of this city, because I believe in his track record.”
Doug attributed his brother as an “honest and hardworking man,” asserting that he “dedicated his life to serving others.” He alleged that “all of this is, of course, is overshadowed by the constant stream of accusations coming forward against this mayor.” He confidently stated that “If the mayor stopped and held a press conference every time the media made up a story about him, we would never have accomplished what we have.”
