An Alabama Republican is facing calls for his resignation after he used the N-word to refer to a Black fellow councilmember during a meeting on Monday, July 19.
Tarrant City councilman John Bryant, who goes by Tommy Bryant, used the slur at the July 19 council meeting to refer to fellow councilor Veronica Freeman in what local Republicans have called a “racially charged outburst.” When Bryant used the term during the recorded meeting, asking if there was a “house n—er” present, others in the room audibly gasped.
