Quote of the Day: “I might have tacos when I go home. I’m not quite sure yet.”
Just hours after four of his town’s police officers were arrested on federal charges of harassing and abusing Latinos, East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo in Connecticut responded to WPIX-TV’s Mario Diaz, who asked the mayor, “What are you doing for the Latino community today?” East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo responded, “I might have tacos when I go home. I’m not quite sure yet.”
The remark, which was roundly condemned by Connecticut’s governor Dannel P. Malloy, and others, prompted the mayor to issue an apology. Maturo declared he would stop giving interviews in the aftermath of the outcry caused by his answer on Tuesday.
