Detroit City Council President Bullies Intern On TwitterWhat began as an innocuous tweet about Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh turned into a Twitter boxing match, with the politicia...- How did Pugh get into this? It started on Saturday afternoon, when Automotive News intern Josh Sidorowicz tweeted a link to a Detroit News column, along with a note expressing his feelings for Pugh's performance as city council president to date.
Wow, love this little piece. Too bad @Charles_Pugh has been such a disappointment for the city of Detroit so far. detroitnews.com/article/201206…- Here's how the rest of the conversation played out.
- @Charles_Pugh well now you've just put words in my mouth. I didn't say that at all. It was more or less a question of priorities, thats all.
@joshsidorowicz my priorities are appropriate. If Laura reported on what they actually are & not my abs, maybe u'd be more informed #truth- @Charles_Pugh Some would disagree your celebrity status & personal agenda has taken priority over helping the city. Laura seemed accurate.
- @joshsidorowicz elaborate, Josh. Celebrity status? Personal agenda? (neither of which Laura mentioned) but please elaborate
- @joshsidorowicz Josh, do you think the folks at Automotive News would be interested in your inaccurate, offensive commentary? Just curious?
- @Automotive_News I'd appreciate a word to your intern Josh Sidorowicz about his offensive posts to my page. It doesn't represent you well
- @joshsidorowicz it seems the cat got your tongue or maybe someone cautioned u about spreading BS & lies about someone who might be watching
- @joshsidorowicz, you weren't talking about yourself. You were talking about ME. Which means I would be the judge of how OFFENSIVE it is.
- @joshsidorowicz u said my celebrity status (whatever that means) & my personal agenda (which u never defined) are my focus. thatz #offensive
- @joshsidorowicz u seem to have a bright future. y dont u try to make friends NOT ENEMIES. u dont know me. bashing me without merit IS WRONG.
- @joshsidorowicz I'm just asking for you to elaborate on your comments about my poor priorities (which you have yet to point out). #offended
- Along with Jalopnik, other media organizations picked up on the Twitter exchange.
