St. Louis mayor won’t quit, office says, after ‘RESIGN LYDA RESIGN’ painted near City Hall
This what happens to a Democrat when they piss on their well pump handle and crap in their on backyard :-)
Lyda Krewson, the embattled mayor of St. Louis -- who has faced repeated protests over the past two weeks -- won’t be stepping down anytime soon, her spokesman said Friday. Communication
Director Jacob Long issued the statement Friday morning, after work
crews were seen trying to remove the message “RESIGN LYDA RESIGN,” which
had been painted in the street outside City Hall overnight between
Thursday and Friday, according to reports. “Mayor Krewson is not
distracted by any of this and remains focused on what she was elected to
do: addressing the needs of more than 300,000 St. Louisans who are
counting on her to help get them through multiple public health and
economic crises, including a worldwide pandemic,” Long said, according to KSDK-TV of St. Louis. Also Friday morning, police cleared an "Occupy City Hall STL" camp that gathered outside the building, The Riverfront Times reported. Protesters had planned to stay until Krewson stepped down, the report said.

Krewson, 66, a Democrat and native of Iowa who has been mayor of St. Louis since April 2017, has been under fire since a Facebook Live briefing in late June, when she read the names and partial addresses of at least 10 protesters who called for the city to defund the police. The
mayor later apologized for reading the information and for causing
“distress or harm to anyone,” but also noted the names and addresses
were already “public information.” A group of protesters who claimed to be heading to Krewson’s home
June 28 prompted St. Louis couple Mark and Patricia McCloskey to take
up arms that day, fearing damage to their property as the protesters
passed by. The couple has been the subject of an investigation
since then, and on Friday night had one of their weapons seized by
authorities executing a search warrant at their home, KSDK reported. It wasn’t immediately clear if the McCloskeys were charged with any crimes. Fox News' Danielle Wallace contributed to this story.
