The letter was sent to the Premier’s Office on Thursday, according to a lawyer representing Jama, and demands the premier retract the posts and publicly apologize within seven days.

On Oct. 11, Ford posted a statement on social media that called for the Hamilton-Centre MPP’s resignation.

He cited comments Jama made a day earlier about the Israel-Gaza conflict and said that she has a “long and well-documented history of antisemitism.”

The premier also said that Jama supported “the rape and murder of innocent Jewish people.”

Ford’s statement has been viewed more than 1.5 million times on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
