It was a "too-to" statement.
Whenever we use "too" then we must use the word "to".

Well I will give a try explaining this.
Continuous verbs are usually physical actions which can be seen doing.
For ex: I eat dinner. (It means it is a usual thing).
I am eating dinner now. (It is referring something peculiar).
Non Continuous verbs are opposite to the one above mentioned. Basically emotions, possessions etc.
For ex: He wants a drink. (Right).
He is wanting a drink. (Wrong).
Ram loves Ramesh. (Gay Love Right).
Ram is loving Ramesh. (Wrong).
Mixed Verbs behave both like continuous and non continuous verbs. As in the first example, where I have mentioned about the 'EAT', we can well understand.
Other example: 'appear' verb:appears-- seems.
Appearing-- coming or giving a performance.
Same goes for tolerate and tolerating.
'Tolerate' is just an idea or a feeling. 'Tolerating' is action.
"The man is important " right? Why will he tolerate? So HE is not tolerating.
Hope I clear the doubt.

We generally use too .... to together in a given sentence but without following "ing".

The given sentence is in present tense so we can't use present participle verb form. And moreover tolerate is an base form of verb tolerate and to make it sense we have to use (to) infinitive.
Ex;
He wants drink milk (doesnt make any sense).
He wants to drink milk (to+verb).
Hope it is clear.

He wants to drink milk (to+verb).

Here, "too" is used so after a verb "to" should be used. And we have to remove the "ing" because we are using "too" and "to".

Conditions:
too --- to
not only --- but also
If a sentence has 'not only' then definitely it will have 'but also'.
Same as too --- to.
too --- to
not only --- but also

too.......to.
And after a preposition to if any verb presents we do not use ing form of the verb so the right answer is to tolerate.
