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.”

Photos of the leftist and other anti-American "protestors" (rioters and criminals) are important, as they will be needed later for their deportations and/or criminal trials.
Basically (in the essentials) false. The theory that minority inferiority is caused by majority disdain, however expressed, is falsified by Hindu Indians, Chinese, and Jews, among others.
And praising Blacks and Mexicans to the skies has not correlated with objective improvements, either.
"Words can be harmful", in the sense that she meant it, is a lie.
Kris Murray doesn’t mean a word of it. She’s just one more liberal Republican using the themes of the Left to set herself up for something bigger than city council.
Loretta Sanchez is running for US Senate. And despite being genuinely stupid, Sanchez will get a lot of support from Hollywood since she’s been a reliable sock puppet for them. Kris Murray and her Democrat comrade Jordan Brandman will be vying for Sanchez’ House seat.
Some sort of set-up?
Back shirt dude should be quite identifiable from that photo and he is spraying in a spot completely surrounded by journalists with cameras...
Chubby and liberal is no way to go through life, Kris.
