Being that the guy is from San Fran and has lived and worked there for years. I bet you he is a liberal. And yet? Apparently that isn't good enough for the mob. The mob rules.

Well here is his quote:
In a statement announcing his decision to step down, Garrels apologized for the harm his words caused, only slightly disputing the absurd charge against him.

"I have said that it is important that we do not exclude consideration of the art of white men."
