City councilors and other public officials are calling for an investigation into the conduct of Jessica Turner, a Somerville resident and appointed official who attended the Washington, D.C., protest.
Turner, who serves as an appointed official on Somerville’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund, is defending her actions after she tweeted while in D.C. to protest the certification of the 2020 election results.
On Jan. 6, Turner tweeted a number of times from D.C., including “we have breached the steps,” and “some of my friends were on the front steps, everyone up front stormed the Capitol together.” Turner, however, said she was not part of the Capitol riots or siege, and does not approve of those actions.
