It was a “busy” day for Toronto Mayor Rob Ford who started out “ranting” about oral sex, only to apologize for his “’graphic language” at another press conference held hours later.
Earlier, the mayor announced he would be “suing” ex-staffers Mark Towhey, Issac Ransom and George Christopoulos after they told police they “witnessed” Ford hanging out with “prostitutes as well as abusing alcohol and prescription pills like Oxycontin.”
He also said he would be suing the “waiter” of an upscale Toronto restaurant who said the mayor “snorted” cocaine in the establishment.
Allegations that he made “sexual” advances towards staffer Olivia Gondek seemed to “anger” the mayor the most.
“It says that I wanted to eat her pussy. I would never do that. I’m happily married. I’ve got more than enough to eat at home, thank you very much,” he said.
At noon, the mayor held yet another press conference backed by his wife Renata to apologize for his “graphic language” blaming the “impulse in my remarks” on the last six months of “tremendous stress”.
“The revelations yesterday of cocaine, escorts and prostitution have pushed me over the line,” he said. “I used unforgivable language.”
Ford has been married to his wife Renata Brejniak since 2000. They met in high school and have two children together, daughter Stephanie and son Doug.
Ford added that yesterday’s City Council vote that he take time off to deal with his personal life was the second worst day of his life, after the death of his father.
Since the City Council doesn’t have the power to “kick” Ford out of the job, the decision was non-binding and Ford ultimately “refused” to step down.
“I’m not an addict of any sort. So I’m not quite sure why you’re saying I need help,” Ford said after the vote.
He announced that he was “getting support” from “healthcare professionals” but wouldn’t detail what kind of help.
Ford said he was “taking accountability” for his actions and “accepting responsibility for challenges I face”.
While those statements seem an “admission” of guilt, the mayor continued to deny the “allegations” in the police report saying they are “100 per cent lies”.
He sounds and acts just like his “nemesis” Barack Hussein Sotero Obama in Washington, D.C.
