City Council members demanded answers from a South Carolina mayor who fired a veteran police chief because she's a lesbian.
.
Latta Mayor Earl Bullard fired Police Chief Crystal Moore on Tuesday, saying the 20-year veteran had drawn seven reprimands - but a city councilwoman said the mayor issued all of those reprimands in one day, the first in her career.
.
City Council members told WBTW-TV that Bullard holds a vendetta against Moore because she investigated the mayor's most recent hire - and because she's openly a lesbian.
.
One of the city councilmen, Jared Taylor, said he recorded the mayor making anti-LGBT remarks during a phone conversation.
.
"I would much rather have, and I will say this to anybody's face, somebody who drank and drank too much taking care of my child than I had somebody whose lifestyle is questionable around children," Bullard says in the recording.
