Chris Marte Should Not Be a City Councilmember
In February, Councilman Chris Marte’s aide used vulgar language to a female journalist and spoke inappropriately about two Asian female leaders. (See here)
In all these weeks, the aide or Councilman Chris Marte never apologized to the women. Marte should have accepted responsibility by now.
This morning Lester Chang tweeted and shared the translated message here (CAUTION: vulgar language):
Today Marte’s aide finally resigned. (Newspaper story)
Councilman Chris Marte at first said he couldn’t do anything, but wished he could. (Info here) But then Marte changed his tune and said what was said was not unforgiveable. (Info here) Someone who doesn’t know what’s appropriate should not be a council representative.
I was surprised that Councilman Justin Brannan didn’t speak up. #Silent
Now so surprising, Senator Andrew Gounardes and Senator
Iwen Chu were both silent about the vulgar aide. Gounardes never speaks up when Democrats do the wrong thing – he’s too afraid to speak out against his party. Sadly, Iwen Chu is also meek didn’t take an opportunity to speak our! #Silent.
Why didn’t Speaker Adrianne Adams fire Marte’s aide?
When Marte was unable to do the right thing, Speaker Adams should have.
Chris Marte should have called the women and apologized by now, but he hasn’t.
