Yeah, while I am more than happy to see Ford make a fool of himself, this latest video seems offside to me.

If he wants to get (legally) drunk or whatever on his own time and in private, I think he should be allowed. Getting hammered in public or at city hall is across the line, but this, in someone's house, just seems like it should be allowed to be his own business.



As for the Ford seeming to not lose any support, there is something called "The Backfire Effect"
