DENVER — Two elementary-age children became the targets of a racist, hateful rant at Monday night’s Denver City Council meeting.
“Last night, the Denver City Council endured a cowardly and racist 'Zoom-bomber' who interrupted our General Public Comment when two African American youth were speaking about their community needs,” City Council President Jamie Torres said in a statement. “The words were vile, as was the character of a person who would actively seek to say these words to two beautiful and courageous young girls.”"I see it all the time on my social media accounts,” said Lewis.
The Denver City Council isn’t the only government body that’s had to deal with anonymous people disrupting their proceedings and spewing hateful language. Torres said the city council is working with the city’s technology team “to review logs and procedures and determine how the breach occurred, with the goal of preventing future incidents.”
