TORONTO (AP) — The mayor of Toronto is saying he smoked crack "probably a year ago" when he was in a "drunken stupor."
Rob Ford's admission to reporters Tuesday follows months of accusations during which the embattled mayor refused to step down. The allegations that he had been caught on video smoking crack surfaced in May.
"Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine," Ford told reporters Tuesday outside his office. "There have been times when I've been in a drunken stupor. That's why I want to see the tape. I want everyone in the city to see this tape. I don't even recall there being a tape or video. I want to see the state that I was in."
Police said last week it had obtained a copy of the video.
LOL! I don't think he's lying! Who hasn't been in a drunken stupor? Maybe Wally, but he's presently in a RC stupor! Sorry Wally, always luv ya no matter what!
Ford wants to see the vid, right! Set up Sat Vid Party Night in say where's that public square or area that Leaf fans watch playoff games on the big screen? Invite all of Toronto who want to come! He has nothing to hide ..... well maybe he does have something to hide but just not good at it! Turn a negative into a positive!
Remember, he wasn't drunk, he was in a "drunken stupor!" Big difference!
