James Gardiner Removed From Democratic Committee For ‘Repugnant' Conduct
The move comes after the party launched an internal investigation of Gardiner's behavior.
CHICAGO (CBS) — “The Party has confirmed he has employed misogynistic, homophobic, and obscene language and engaged in verbal harassment, against a colleague, a staff member of another, and his own constituents,” the Chicago Democratic Party said in a statement on Monday.
The move comes after the party launched an internal investigation of Gardiner’s behavior, in the wake of multiple media reports that he retaliated against constituents who criticized him, and a series of offensive and misogynistic text messages in which Gardiner used slurs when talking about another alderman and women who work in city politics.
