The war of words between Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne and PC Leader Doug Ford is heating up.
This time though, it was Liberal co-chair David Herle, who got personal in attacks against Ford.
"I think people think Doug Ford is a bit of a dick, to be honest." Herle said during a roundtable chat on CP24.
The comment came after a question about whether Ford was more trusted or liked than his late brother Rob.
“Doug Ford is not Rob Ford. Rob Ford was a good politician. People liked Rob Ford, he was a popular guy, he won the mayoralty,” Herle said.
Earlier in the discussion, Herle accused the PC's of hiding their candidate and protecting him from media questions.
"Your campaign is soooo shit-scared of what Doug Ford might say, you're going to the most extreme lengths to hide him."
Just after 6:15 p.m., a statement was issued by Herle:
Three minutes later the emailed statement was followed by another email from the Ontario Liberals titled "Doug Ford's History of Vulgar Outbursts." It listed five examples of Ford using deragatory name-calling in the past, dating back to 2012.
Ford, who is in Chatham, responded to today's comments:
