I called for Mayor James Holley of Portsmouth to resign yesterday for his reckless, racially-inflammatory and bigoted public comments. We make no progress toward being one America if the standards of conduct are different for some than they are for others. Unacceptable for some must be unacceptable for all.
The Virginian-Pilot says the comments show Holley’s “unfitness to be the leader the city needs today.”
They’re right. Holley should step aside now.
