Petition for Artiles' Resignation
There was a petition seeking Frank Artiles' resignation. It read in part, "Senator Frank Artiles is under fire for lobbing racial slurs and sexist insults at his FL Senate colleagues earlier this week. Artiles has proven time and again that he lacks the judgment, decency and maturity needed to properly serve his constituents and the people of Florida, and must resign immediately.
Our elected officials ought to serve as role models for how we treat one another, not as bullies and buffoons. Frank Artiles and his hateful actions prove he is clearly not fit to lead. It is time for Senator Artiles to bring his embarrassing tenure to an end." This is a photo of Brittney Singletary. She didn't have anything to do with the racial slur incident involving Artiles, but controversy has erupted after the Miami Herald reported she was a consultant on his campaign finance reports.
