"The city of Warren, Michigan was rocked this week after a leaked audio recording allegedly revealed its mayor cruelly mocks disabled people.
Local news station Fox 2 Detroit reports a leaked recording of a man purported to be Fouts making nasty remarks about “retarded” people whom he says should be kept “in diapers.
“I think they have to keep them in diapers, I don’t know. I think, maybe, really, I don’t dare say that publicly,” said the man in the recording, whom Fox 2 Detroit says sounds very much like the Warren mayor. “I see these old people pushing their retarded daughter around… for what reason? I don’t know. She doesn’t know what she’s doing.”
Elsewhere in the recordings, Fouts mocked the disabled as “dysfunctional” people who are “not even human beings.”
