The Superior African Heritage Community, Duluth-Superior Save the Kids, Justice City Coalition and other grassroots and community organizations plan to hold a press conference and launch the boycott at 8 a.m. Monday in response to Hagen’s Facebook post. But he said he’s told Hagen he needs “to make this right”.
Garfield says one problem is Hagen used “Muslim” as a slur, and “we all know the Obama family describe themselves as Christian”. He said he recommended Hagen apologize, but “we have not talked about resignation”.
Garfield says he will ask the mayor to resign if he refuses to act.
Jim Paine, a Douglas County supervisor who challenged Hagen in the mayoral race earlier this year, said he was “shocked and offended” when he first heard about Hagen’s comments about Obama. “We’ve always been a community that’s welcoming to all people”.
Councilors Mike Herrick and Jack Sweeney have not returned multiple requests for comment. That is hate speech, and trying to hide hate speech behind “free speech” is very troubling.
“I curry no belief this administration has done good for this country”, Hagen said.
