ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Sacramento made national news last week after a hot mic moment captured discussion between the mayor and a council member over how to remove people they deemed disruptive from council chambers.
You may have heard about it from Fox News, or maybe in the California Post: City council member Karina Talamantes offering up to seemingly clueless Mayor Kevin McCarty on the protocols for removing protesters who have in recent been calling them names such as a "pick-me bitch," and a "fucking criminal."
Why has this been going down?
Well, council recently voted to renew a contract with the increasingly fascist federal government to share information on city residents.
The California punditry class has predictably started wringing their hands over questions of "decorum," providing takes on the First Amendment based tenuously in reality.
We discuss the ins and outs of the situation here in Sacramento and beyond, go over the city's rich, vibrant history of insulting local politicians to their faces, and look to our favorite idiot Democrat, Steve Maviglio, for his thoughts on the situation.
