of her own party but when it comes down to it she's going to be making more anti-semitic statements. this is in the end of it. i want -- i want everyone we will be hearing from her again with more anti-semitic statements. it is a big problem for the democratic party if they don't stand up. shannon: hopefully they are listening to you. thank you for joining us, appreciate it. >> you are welcome

employees and put citizens lives at risk. heather: do you think people knew what they were voting for or what was intentionally misleading? >> the citizens knew exactly what they were voting for. the mayor tried to defeat this measure because it wasn't his idea. it wasn't what he wanted so what the mayor refused to do with technology used in firefighters who have received only a 3% pay raise, 3% total since 2011 versus counterpart ended deservedly so, our brothers and sisters at the houston police department received 37% pay raise. the mayor continues to spend money on pet projects, taxpayer funds on contracts that are not approved to city council and what he doesn't do his value the sacrifice and service of the men and women of the houston fire department to put their lives on the line

favor of this referendum to give me equal pay. what this mayor did was spent taxpayer funds to say i am smarter than 300,000 voters and sued to invalidate what the voters of houston clearly said they
