Doug is just an idiotic clone of Trump
Kathleen Wynne on twitter
Today I was asked by reporters about Doug Ford's comments yesterday that were just short of “lock her up." I thought hard about how to respond. Here's what I said:
Let’s just call this out for what it is – Doug Ford sounds like Donald Trump. And that’s because he IS like Donald Trump. He believes in an ugly, vicious brand of politics that traffics in smears and lies.
He’ll say anything about anyone at any time – because, just like Trump, it’s all about him. Not about our people and their families. Not about Ontario’s success. But about him. That’s how Trump campaigned in 2016. That’s how Ford is campaigning right now.
And I guarantee you – it will get worse before it gets better. We saw it this week when Doug lied – flat out lied – about his appalling comments about families living with autism. Yesterday — he did it again — when he all but chanted “Lock Her Up” talking about me.
It’s not about me. I have pretty thick skin. But I want people to notice what’s going on here – Doug Ford stands for nothing but Doug Ford. And, just like Donald Trump, there’s only one way to deal with him. You have stand up to him. Because that’s how you deal with a bully.
Michelle Obama, whom I admire greatly, recommended that when they go low, we should go high. I liked that idea when she said it. Until we ended up with Donald Trump in the White House. So, I’m sorry. But not again. Not here. Not in Ontario.
Because he may be Donald Trump. But I am not Hillary Clinton. And Ontario is not the United States of America. We can't let it happen again. Not here, not ever.
