00:00I believe that you're all cowards, especially those who use their God as a cop-out for forgiveness.
00:07Yeah, it would definitely be something we continue to do in our pre-K lives, if that were the case,
00:13you know, as it is currently done in our pre-K eights.
00:20God, you're hot. Do you know that? Where do you go to school at?
00:24I go to Crockett.
00:25All right.
00:28To begin, I want to address Irvin's actions, which were not only unwelcome, but sexist and derogatory.
00:35I know this because he has not behaved this way with any of our male members, nor do I believe
00:41that he ever would.
00:42I do not wish to beat a dead horse, as everyone here has clear context as to what happened was
00:48wrong.
00:48The failure to act on the board's behalf was and is equivalent to his actions, as it has hurt me
00:55just as much.
00:56To watch the chairperson be so quick to bang her gavel to control the public, yet not use it once
01:03in order to control her own peer, was disgusting.
01:06I understand the shock. I was there. But it is her responsibility to control and represent this board.
01:14You all have done a poor job at that representation.
01:17Gaining global attention for sexual comments and assault is not the reputation that Washington County deserves.
01:25Everyone on this board shares that blame, just as every voter who put you in the office shares that responsibility.
01:32I believe that you're all cowards, especially those who use their God as a cop-out or forgiveness.
01:40Just as religion is not allowed in schools by authority figures, it has no place in this boardroom or any
01:48professional setting.
01:50If you choose to forgive him, that is your right, but own it.
01:55What you lack is accountability, and that just might be the most disturbing part.
02:00I do not forgive you, and I do not accept your fake apologies used to protect yourselves.
02:08I do not believe that you deserve that peace of mind.
02:10So every time that you feel a little bit of discomfort from the public,
02:14I want you to remember that it isn't even a fraction of what I felt on April 2nd.
