https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/gop-mayor-refuses-to-resign-despite-being-caught-pantless-in-town-hall/ar-AA21GaIlVideo footage has resurfaced showing Mooresville, North Carolina, Mayor Chris Carney without pants inside the town hall after hours with a female journalist, according to The Wall Street Journal on Friday.
The 2024 incident is now generating significant controversy as three former town employees sued officials, alleging retaliation for preserving footage and investigating.
Town commissioners passed a no-confidence vote this month, urging Carney to resign.
A judge ordered the town to release the video, though officials appealed the decision on Wednesday.
Carney publicly apologized, describing it as an innocent visit resulting from a negative reaction to alcohol and medication that caused him to vomit, explaining he removed his pants to clean them. Residents are divided, with some calling for his resignation, though Carney shows no indication of stepping down. His term ends in 2027.
Commissioner Eddie Dingler acknowledged the incident continues to distract the community.
Nothing as funny as a mayor caught without pants in the town hall! You can't make up shit like this.

(25,073 posts)He should just man-up and admit he shagged the journalist.
Lets see
He said he was meeting with a woman journalist while he was drinking. He had an adverse reaction to medication and threw up on himself. So, the mayor puked in front of a reporter but she didnt write about it? Sure, Jan.

(11,347 posts)Has anyone asked about just how the female employee got there?
She just happened to be working at midnight at City Hall? On this particular night?
And, if what he says is true, why has he not asked the employee make a statement to that effect?
He knows that he is caught, but like any true rethug, he is going to die on this hill.
Hell, he will probably convince himself that it never happened if it never progresses beyond this point.
They are that delusional.
