St. Paul businessman, Mike Costello said he got upset last week when he saw City Councilman David Thune protesting at the Republican National Convention.
"I sent him an email saying how disgusted I was and that I thought he was a disgrace to the city and I asked him for his resignation. I said you should resign," said Costello.
Thune responded with an email that said "[expletive] you little [expletive]".
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS obtained a copy of the profanity-filled email which shows it was sent from Thune's official city council email address.
When asked if that was a respectful way to deal with a citizen of St. Paul Thune said, "It is a respectful way to deal with someone of the low class that he is."
"He's a m----- f------ Ref---liKKKan, and the only f------ way to deal with f----- s--- like him is to f------ cuss his little c---------- a-- sideways!"
Thune told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS he stands behind his four-letter words, . . . .
"I've got a '10,000 posts' star next to my name at Democratic Underground, and I'm f------ proud of it!" |
