In a distressing turn of events during a recent San Diego City Council meeting, multiple anonymous callers flooded the assembly with hateful and racist remarks.
“I'm just not going to accept that, sir," said Council President Pro Tem Monica Montgomery Steppe as she interrupted one of the public comment callers."If you can make your point without being offensive, that's fine, otherwise I'm just going to go to the next speaker."
“The racist and bigoted calls we got at the city council yesterday were deeply saddening but not surprising. We have been pushing really hard to stand against hate crimes in the City of San Diego for many years," said Councilmember Raul Campillo.Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters.
