SANTEE (KUSI) – Santee Mayor John W. Minto and the City Council recently voted to ask Supervisor Nathan Fletcher to step down as Chair Supervisor and apologize for “divisive language” he used about some of those participating in the Governor Gavin Newsom recall effort.
The letter they sent to the San Diego County Board of Supervisor is below:
Dear Honorable Board of Supervisors:
The Santee City Council condemns the divisive language used by San Diego County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher when he called those participating in the Governor Gavin Newsom recall effort “Extremists”, “Conspiracy Theorists”, “Neo-Nazis”, “Right Wing Militia Groups”, and “White Supremacists”. There are few worse accusations than calling someone a Neo-Nazi or White Supremacist. Hate has no place in Santee. Hateful rhetoric has no room in political discourse and is particularly bad when it comes from the Chairman of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.
