Calls for Clackamas Commissioner Mark Shull's resignation mount
Publication of racist, transphobic and anti-immigrant comments sparks public outrage
All five Multnomah County Commissioners are now calling for the resignation of Clackamas County Commissioner Mark Shull following publication of his social media comments representing Islamophobic, anti-immigrant and transphobic views.
Shull was elected in a close race in November over incumbent Ken Humberston and took office on Jan. 4.
In a statement released Tuesday, Jan. 12, the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners stated that they are appalled to learn of Shull's social media posts that "spread hatred, bigotry and lies about immigrants, Muslims, communities of color and other historically marginalized groups, as well as inflammatory disinformation during the September wildfires.
