OTTAWA—A Liberal MP from Toronto has apologized for a tweet sent on the morning of Feb. 2 that many on Twitter took as a threat against Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

Adam Vaughan said sorry for tweeting that people should “whack” Ford, hours after defending it as a reference to the game whack−a−mole where players hold a mallet and hit targets—or moles—as they randomly pop up from a board.
