TORONTO – Ontario Premier Doug Ford has criticized two high-profile Democratic politicians during an appearance in Washington, D.C.
Ford, who is in Washington for the winter meeting of the National Governors Association, took shots at both House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Bernie Sanders.
The premier slammed Pelosi for ripping up a copy of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address this week, calling her actions “disappointing” and “a shame.”
He also criticized socialism and said the politics of Sanders, a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, are “scary.”
