Behind the Scenes on the Campaign Trail

Rene Gonzalez’s mayoral campaign recently reached out, upset about one of my tweets.

Honestly, I was confused, because everything in it was true.

After reviewing the tweet, I’m guessing this sentence hit a nerve:

“Rene Gonzalez has traffic violations, questionable use of public funds, AND lied about a Black woman attacking him.”

The traffic violations and questionable use of public funds? Those are just facts.

So, is the real issue my claim that Rene “lied about a Black woman attacking him”? 

Well, Trimet has video footage. You can watch it for yourself and decide:

Was Commissioner Gonzalez really “accosted by a woman on the train”?
