A senior member of Rob Ford’s campaign team says two of the participants in an anti-Ford sit-in outside the mayor’s office are communists.

One of the protesters, John Young, is a doctor. The other, sit-in organizer Chris Caple, is a website designer.

On Twitter, Caple pointedly asked Ford’s press secretary, Amin Massoudi, if he could “let the public know” how Ford had spent his workday after a 9 a.m. campaign press conference. Young then asked how “people like” Massoudi can “just ignore this kind of criticism.”
