Alderwoman Emma Mitts makes 1st public statement after bullying incident

Alderwoman Emma Mitts made her 1st public statement after a Council bullying incident. FULL STORY: abc7chicago.com/alderman-carl...

[@mboyd988]

She's putting me to sleep. This man put his hands on you. He doesn't need a speech. He needs to be arrested. That's what people should be calling for. Too much preaching going on!!!

[@lynettethompson5996]

This man is a coward who was trying to intimidate this woman. This alderman is for his people only he doesn’t represent or respect all the citizens of Chicago. Who cares if the migrants are offended because Americans are calling them out for money being taken from American citizens to care for illegal migrants. They paid smugglers thousands of dollars to get into the country and now expect to be taken care by taxpayers. Who comes to a foreign country with no money to take care of themselves and their children. They came here to be taken care of for free. Do think Americans could go to their country with no money and expect to be taken care. No if you want to come to America come legally.

[@NIcholasparker88]

She needs to come back to the republicans!

Carlos Ramirez-Rosa needs to completely resign from the City Council plain & simple. His apology means nothing. Alderwoman Emma Mitts showed a lot of class but she should have insisted on his resignation.

[@MoorenaEl]

BEST COMMENT AWARD

[@reignlove8741]

He is COMPRISED. He cares more about his HISPANIC/LATINO DIASPORA than he does for the community that VOTED him in at the point of threatening a fellow colleague. He should be FIRED. Period!!!! Because those brothers standing behind her are PROTECTING her. She doesn’t feel SAFE. How fair is that????🤔

[@bellfaith1065]

She's doing a disservice to her constituents & to black women everywhere by not insisting he be held accountable. He don't care about what he did bcuz he wouldn't have done it, he just don't wanna be punished for it.

[@plmc747]

Don't think this Carlos person would have tried that nonsense with a man. Believe Carlos was acting out his chauvinist machismo stuff. That does Not play with Black women. Am older than Alderman by 10+ years. If any man tries that macho thing with me. good chance im going to jail for assault or a murder. Appalling!

[@shirleytrent9684]

This"Carlos and Ramirez-Rosa," is looking out for their own kind. They are not for the"African American People," in that community. They want to get as many illegal immigrants over here as possible. I am glad this lady spoke up , because you don't know what they are saying behind closed doors.

There will be NO coalition, to include "Black & Brown", UNLESS the non-Blacks are willing to do their part for Black Americans to address OUR needs...and state so in writing. 3.
