Being A New Yorker

New York City Councilman James S. Oddo, lost it when interviewed by a Norwegian comedian.

Warning: the video contains offensive language.

The Councilman remains unapologetic, sort of:

Anyone who thinks they are going to come in and waste time while mocking him and other American leaders like the Clintons, while implicitly saying “America is a racist nation ... I’m going to throw you out of my office,” Oddo said. He apparently did apologize to his mother for the curse words.

[. . .]

“My language was inappropriate, I'm apologetic for it, I regret it,” said Oddo. “I don't regret the sentiment. In fact, I think that people across the country will see that I reacted the same way any Staten Islander walking down Hylan Boulevard would have reacted.”

I do not agree with the offending comedian who said after the incident that she thinks Oddo’s reaction was "quite normal."
