Sacramento Mayor shuts down antisemitic rant at city council meeting 

The Mayor of Sacramento shut down an antisemitic rant by a member of the public during a City Council meeting. 

Mayor Darrell Steinberg interrupted the speaker’s rant, stating: “OK, see you later, pal. We don’t want to hear any more from you. We don’t want to hear any more of your s***.”

Mr Steinberg, who describes himself as a “proud Jew”, stood by his response, explaining that although “those aren’t usually the words I use in public, they were appropriate.”

According to the FBI, over 60 percent of hate crimes against a religious minority are motivated by antisemitism.
