Glendale City Council Candidate Accused of 'Racist' YouTube Comments

Zareh Sinanyan, a candidate for Glendale City Council, has been accused of crafting racist and threatening YouTube comments that carry his name -- an accusation that has led to Sinanyan losing endorsements and support of figures including Rep. Adam Schiff, according to a story in the Glendale News-Press.

Women, Muslims and Georgians are among the targets of the online comments, according to the story, and the allegations have also led to council incumbents Ara Najarian and Laura Friedman to propose the possibility of stripping Sinanyan of his seat on the Community Development Block Grant Advisory Committee.
