Mayor of Warren, Michigan. WTF?

[bobabode]

If this tape is true, this mayor needs to go. Right goddamn now. There is no room in the Democratic party or any other for this shit.

"Numerous public officials are calling on Jim Fouts, the mayor of Warren, Mich., to resign after audio recordings surfaced over the long weekend allegedly catching him making obscene comments about black people and women.

In those audio files, first published Monday by Steve Neavling of the Motor City Muckraker, a man can be heard comparing black people to “chimps,” calling them the n-word and talking crudely and dismissively about dating older women. (Warning: The files contain offensive language.)

A group of eight public officials representing the citizens of Warren, a city in Macomb County about 20 miles north of Detroit, said in a joint statement Tuesday that they recognized the voice in the recordings to be that of 74-year-old Fouts — an allegation the Democratic mayor has vehemently denied.

“These comments are hateful. They are racist and disparaging of women,” the group of officials said in the statement. “The leader of our State’s third largest city should be a role model for how we treat each other and anyone that harbors these feelings and expresses them is not fit to lead.”" WaPo
