New profanity filled video of ‘crack smoking’ Toronto Mayor Rob Ford shows him in drunken rage
The Toronto Mayor, Rob Ford, is already battling the fallout from admitting he smoked crack, but now has to answer for a video showing the mayor in a drunken rage, dropping profanities and threatening to kill someone.
The video was released by The Toronto Star and now has gone viral across the Internet.
Ford staggers and rants ““I’m going to kill that [expletive] guy. I’m telling you, it’s first-degree murder. … He dies or I die, brother.”
He then throws his hands about and continues, CNN reported: “When he’s down, I’ll rip his [expletive] throat out. … I’ll poke his eyes out. … I’ll make sure that [expletive] is dead.”
Ford says he was intoxicated at the time, and while embarrassed, wants everybody to see it.
“All I can do is reassure the people that I don’t know what to say,” he said to reporters, CNN said. “It’s extremely embarrassing. The whole world is going to see it. I don’t have a problem with that. … Obviously, I was extremely, extremely inebriated. That’s all I have to say.”
The context of the video, or when it was shot, is not known.
The Mayor is still not stepping down from office, despite his admission in the last few days that he did in fact smoke crack cocaine.
The crack cocaine allegations surfaced when two Toronto reporters said they had received and viewed a video of the mayor doing the deed, and police later extracted images they said were in line with media accounts of the tape.
