Apologies are for Republicans only.
(ATLANTA) – NYC Council Member Melissa Mark-Viverito today says that she still wants an apology from a senator who called a black candidate a “monkey” and says she does not know why the Democratic National Committee has not made a statement.
Mark-Viverito has been trying to get fellow Democrat Senator Lornna Soto to apologize for referring to Puerto Rican Resident Commissioner Candidate Rafael Cox Alomar as “el monito” (“the monkey”) at the DNC convention last week.
The 8th District representative told the Redding News Review radio show that she did not know why the DNC has declined to respond to multiple phone calls and an email on the matter.
