Mayor Rob Ford, brother blast 'bunch of maggots' in the media [View all]

Source: CBC

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and his brother, Coun. Doug Ford, were critical of the media during the early part of their weekly radio show, which came after a tumultuous few days in which both men denied separate drug-related allegations that had been raised about them.

Just a few minutes into their talk show, Mayor Ford suggested the media were a "bunch of maggots," though he then apologized for characterizing them in that way.

"Folks, I've addressed these allegations and it’s unfortunate that you get put in this situation, but we're moving forward," the mayor said Sunday afternoon, in reference to the reports that a video has surfaced of the mayor smoking what appears to be crack cocaine.

CBC News has not been able to validate the existence of the video or any of the claims being made about it.
