St. Louis Mayor Calls Text Message Release an 'Honest Mistake'
Mayor Tishaura Jones has issued a statement a day after a 135 page PDF of text messages between her, her father Virvus Jones and political advisor Richard Callow were released to the public as part of a public records request. The messages, which ran from January to late May, showed the mayor and her confidants' candid thoughts on many of the issues of those months, including then-Alderman Brandon Bosley pulling a gun on a woman on Facebook live and Sheriff Vernon Betts getting caught on tape berating a deputy with racial slurs. The text messages also showed the mayor talking tough about her political opponents, including Ward 8 Alderwoman and former mayoral candidate Cara Spencer, who Jones said "doesn’t know what the fuck she’s doing as chair of budget," and Ward 12 Alderwoman Sharon Tyus, who Jones hoped would "blow a gasket and pass out."
