America’s ‘worst mayor’ joined a chaotic brawl that erupted at a town meeting after an activist called for her removal.
Tiffany Henyard, the mayor of Dolton village in Illinois and supervisor of nearby Thornton Township, thrown to the floor in a tussle Tuesday night that broke out after her boyfriend rushed to defend her honor.
The saga began when activist Jedidiah Brown, a frequent critic of Henyard, took to the podium and launched an aggressive tirade at the mayor that ended with him calling her a ‘b***h’.
Brown accused Henyard of ‘sleeping her way to the top’, being a ‘half-a**ed mayor’, and even suggested she would never get married, ABC7 reported.
He then asked the room to vote on a measure to place Henyard’s boyfriend Kamal Woods and ally William Moore on paid administrative leave from the town, before ending his comments by saying: ‘You gone, b****!’
‘Thank you for the lawsuit,’ Henyard hit back, as Brown began to walk away.
But before he could return to his seat, Woods – who allegedly made six figures to run the township’s at-risk youth program before getting ordered on paid leave – charged at the activist. At least one other man stepped in to the fracas and the massive brawl broke out.
The brawl is the latest scandal embattling Henyard and comes one day after an independent investigation detailed how she allegedly mismanaged millions of dollars worth of taxpayer funds during her controversial tenure as Dolton mayor.
