Sounds like she's not handling leadership well.
And this from JustTheNews.com, hardly a Left-leaning news outlet.
Lynchburg Mayor Stephanie Reed, who has held office since January 2023, has called out critics during city council meetings and allegedly contacted employers of others who have been critical of her on social media. Reed is also up for reelection by the city council in January.
At an explosive city council meeting last month, Reed called for the press to be shut out and for officers to ensure everyone left the city council chambers.
On July 3, after a special city council meeting adjourned over a lack of quorum, the two city council members who called the meeting began holding a press conference. However, Reed quickly attempted to shut it down.
“[O]fficer to escort everyone outside of the chamber,” Reed said. “The chamber is closed, the meeting is over. It has been adjourned, there was no request for a press conference. It can be done outside of the chamber.”
“Press – turn the press off. Out, now,” she added.

Sounds like she's not handling leadership well.

Women have no place in leadership roles with rare exceptions like Margaret Thatcher. They were meant to be helpers to men. Sorry but this 63 yr old female that has seen the devastation women’s lib has brought won’t feel differently.
She’s “powerful”, “fierce”, “brave”, “independent”, “steadfast”.. oh, she’s a Republican? Then she’s fascist.
Requiring that a press conference be moved to outside the building when a meeting is over is hardly quashing free speech.
