Leaked video shows Everett councilor making racially insensitive comments, adding to mounting backlash
In the video, posted this week on a Facebook page critical of Everett politicians and obtained independently by the Globe, the mayor’s spokeswoman, Deanna Deveney, asks DiPierro to recruit “one of your dark friends” for a political event.
“I don’t have a lot of those friends, I’m just saying,” DiPierro responded.
“No problem, we’ll find one,” Deveney said.
The video, which was taken in 2020 or 2021, shows a handful of city councilors and employees talking about ways to demonstrate they are not racist. Rosa DiFlorio, a former city councilor, tells Deveney she should “hire a Haitian boyfriend to come with you.”
