ANAHEIM - Anger filled the air in and outside Anaheim City Hall on Tuesday night as the council considered, but took no action, on a resolution denouncing "divisive rhetoric" by Donald Trump.
Supporters and opponents of Trump rallied outside, where there was a pepper-spray altercation, and later filled the City Council chamber to speak about the Republican presidential candidate.
After more than 5 hours of public comment and debate, the council voted 3-2 to take no action on whether to denounce the remarks by Trump and his comments on women, Latinos, Muslims, veterans, immigrants and refugees.
Mayor Tom Tait was one of three on the council who voted to table the resolution introduced by Councilwoman Kris Murray. The others voting to table the measure were council members James Vanderbilt and Lucille Kring. Murray and Councilman Jordan Brandman voted against tabling it.
Trump supporters in attendance applauded the vote.
At the start of the 5 p.m. meeting, more than 76 people lined up to speak in front of the council, many about the resolution that Murray introduced.
Murray, who later introduced an amendment to her original resolution to remove Trump’s name and denounce all presidential candidates with divisive rhetoric, said her intention was to stand up for those Anaheim minorities hurt by his words.
“I want them to know that they have a voice in the city,” Murray said. “Words can be harmful and can have a genuine impact in people’s lives and the council should weigh in on this.”
Tait said the city had no business weighing in on a national campaign.
“This is not an action I believe for a city council (or) for a government body to take,” he said. “There’s supposed to be an iron wall between campaigns and a government entity. We are...”

Boo Hoo. Don’t tell me, let me guess. Murray is a snowflake Dem, right?
They must have federal funds : )
This is what morons do when they are really, really busy being morons.
“Boo Hoo. Don’t tell me, let me guess. Murray is a snowflake Dem, right?”
Nope. She is a Republican.
Abso-damn-lutely.
LOL! Trump is an amateur compared to the lyin’ king when it comes to being “divisive”. The lyin’ king makes him look like a piker.
That man needs a real good beating and a reminder to never ever do that again unless assaulted.
YOU ARE KIDDING ME! Well, I guess that’s why Conservative Republicans are rebelling against the GOPe. Way too many elected Republicans acting like Democrats will destroy the Republican Party. And I think the destruction has already begun.
Anaheim is now a “minority majority” city. The 1986 Amnesty began the conversion of Anaheim from an American suburb into a city dominated by the current and former citizens of Mexico. It has large populations from all over the third world, including a neighborhood called Little Gaza.
Republican Kris Murray and her Democrat comrade Jordan Brandman are trying to exploit ethnic resentment by attacking Trump. They would fit right in with the Peoples Republic of Berkeley and Santa Monica. Anaheim’s voters need to recall these two trouble makers before they get the city burning.
Another ridiculous attempt by members of local government to insert themselves into issues that they have no business in. Just some a$$hat local politician looking to get their face in the news.
I recall Anaheim being a conservative place, a long time ago, in a culture far, far away. Now it has been assimilated by the Leftist Borg, as nearly have all urban centers.
“I recall Anaheim being a conservative place, a long time ago, in a culture far, far away.”
That was when north Orange County was still part of America. Immigration, legal and illegal, has changed that.
She’s a snowflake republican.
Crybully bs. HTFU or STFU
