| Description | A Facebook dispute over whether a mustachioed, poncho-wearing “Mexican Man” Halloween costume is racist, as Denver City Councilman Paul Lopez alleged last October, spilled over into the Denver City Council meeting Tuesday night.
Victoria Reynolds called for the councilman’s resignation and demanded an apology.
“I want this person removed from the City Council, unless he is willing to give a public apology with a press conference,” she said.
Reynolds alleges Lopez called her a “g**damn racist” and a “b***h” at a Denver Democrats’ House District 4 meeting on Feb. 3 in an argument stemming partly from their October exchange on social media, partly over whether she’s really a Democrat. |
