Description
Caller after caller phoning in during public comment at Monday's San Diego City Council meeting essentially hijacked the forum, making explosively racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic remarks. Councilmembers wasted no time in denouncing these hate-filled remarks made by a number of commenters, many of whom seemed to not even live in San Diego.
"The comments were vile," said Councilmember Stephen Whitburn. "There were racist slurs, anti-Semitic slurs, homophobic slurs. In the three years I've sat on the City Council I have yet to see anything of that magnitude."
