And Replaces It With A New Lie
Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin has apologized and retracted his earlier claim that MILO is a “white nationalist” after heavy criticism.
However, in a revised statement, he replaced the first lie with a new one, calling MILO a “prominent alt-rightist,” attributing to MILO an ideology he has repeatedly rejected. MILO is demanding a second apology and retraction.
Mayor Arreguin wrote that he regrets and apologizes for the “white national” label he ascribed to MILO in a statement he released early Thursday on the riots that occurred on the UC Berkeley campus last night.
Several Twitter users criticized Arreguin for his decision to falsely brand MILO as “white nationalist.”
The mayor also put out a revised statement, which no longer refers to MILO as a white nationalist. However, it now refers to him as a “prominent alt-rightist,” which is also false. It also argues that the protests were wrong because they “provided the ultra-nationalist far right exactly the images they want.”
Responding, MILO said “Wrong again. Will he apologize this time? And, while he’s at it, take responsibility for gleefully encouraging the riots last night?”
Arreguin, whose mayoral candidacy was endorsed by the Democrats and former presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, was criticized for suggesting that MILO’s speech wasn’t welcome in Berkeley, shortly before the riots erupted.
Arreguin chose to conveniently ignored that just last week, MILO spoke out against white nationalism, claiming that we should be “aspiring to values and to ideas and focusing on what unites people, not what drives them apart.”
“You shouldn’t give a sh*t about skin color, you shouldn’t give a shit about sexuality, you shouldn’t give a sh*t about gender, and you should be deeply suspicious of the people who do,” he concluded.

Willing to bet he encouraged the riots. He sure didn't disapprove. Looks like the fastest way to get rid of him is more steaks, ice cream, pizza, and hamburgers with french fries.
Don’t worry. The F.B.I. is investigating Berkely Mayor, Arreguin for telling the police to stand down:

The mayor looks like the kind of guy you might see sporting a man-bun.
Since the FBI has opened an investigation into the entire Berkeley incident he’s quickly turned into a back peddling a$$hole.
IMHO.
The Mayor needs to apologize for failing to control a gang of thugs in his city.
Then he needs to apologize for being a total and complete idiot.
The beliefs of the person attempting to speak on campus are just not relevant.
Watching the world wake up from history...
The totalitarian leftist fascist is backpedaling.
Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin hates gay people and immigrants from Greece like Milo.
