Hernandez & Annello Redefine Hypocrisy

It takes some next-level hypocrisy for me to actually come to the defense of Mayor Margo but the level of hypocrisy from City Reps Cassandra Hernandez and Alex Annello is legendary.

They sent out a letter complaining about the fact that yet again, El Paso's dynamic duo of failed leadership lost on another vote. And its the most middle school bullshit I ever heard.

The two are apparently pissed because the majority of council selected a home-grown El Pasoan who is Latina as the new city attorney instead of an old white lady from out of town.

Why they are advocating for an old white lady from out of town over one of our own is a mystery to me, but the letter they sent out complained about the fact that Representative Noe wasn't around for most of the interview process for the new city attorney and they feel that because he wasn't around that the people that live in District 5 (El Paso's eastside) shouldn't have a vote in who the new city attorney would be.

But you memmur when the city had to pick an interim city attorney? City Rep Henry Rivera wasn't around for most of that hiring process.

He voted on the issue.

I don't remember Alex Annello complaining in real time about the fact that he wasn't there for the whole hiring process and that he should recuse himself.

Did Hernandez and Annello send out a letter then?

Hell no.

They were Team Neiman back then.

But now that they lost the vote, all of a sudden the city should be operating under different rules to appease them?

This is 100% because they didn't get their way.

Its not because of process.

And frankly, why kind of bullshit is it that they think they get to decide what parts of town get to have a say in selecting the city attorney. If the District 5 constituents have an issue with Noe showing up at the last minute to vote that is something they can take up with him. Its their role as his constituents, not the Mean Girls of City Council.

This is the exact reason why each of them have highly-qualified opponents that will be well-funded waiting in the wings for the next election from what I've heard.
