The recordings were uploaded to several social sites, including Facebook and YouTube, by a group calling itself “Montgomery Deserves Better.”
It is unclear when the audio was recorded or by whom, what potential editing has been made to them, or in what context the recordings were made. The exact individuals behind the publication have not come forward.“I can come smile. I don’t [expletive] have to do no [expletive] work. I don’t have to do no work systemically and I’m going to be fine. And guess what, I will always get 38 to 45% of the white vote.
WSFA 12 News reached out to all nine Montgomery city councilmembers. Some declined to comment, while others did not respond to requests. Other councilmembers did offer their reactions to the mayor’s audio. “We’re all shocked,” added Montgomery City Councilman Brantlye Lyons. “We’re just like eyeballs wide-open, can’t believe, you know, what we saw, and what we heard.” Lyons added “we certainly don’t agree with any of those comments that were, that were made,” stressing the city council does not stand behind it.
