Council
Member Marco San Antonio recently received a voicemail so threatening that it
is now under investigation with the San Diego Sheriff's Department. From
the phone number used, it appears that the message came from a Village
Park resident who used his wife’s phone to call San Antonio’s city-issued
phone, so it is a public record. The wife is a Paul Ecke (EUSD) school
employee and the caller works for Kaiser Permanente, according to his LinkedIn.
Recorded in
a mix of Spanish, English, and Filipino, the caller ranted using the N word in
Filipino among other hate speech and homophobic insults. Mixed in were
plenty of references to “MAGA.” It ends with the promise “Next time I see
you around I’m going to F you up bro for real.”
Have a
listen: Threats to San Antonio
Blue MAGA/YIMBY dog whistlers use the “MAGA” drumbeat to get votes for their candidates. They whistle at every council meeting, on social media, and lately have stood outside City Hall shrieking into bullhorns against San Antonio. There is little doubt their exhortations led to this caller's behavior.
