The Times of San Diego reports:
Comedian Jason Robo on Wednesday apparently lost his 5-year-old radio gig in Humboldt County a day after his crude rant against three county supervisors and racist attack on the county’s public health officer. Meanwhile, Robo is facing a possible defamation suit by the owner of Roma Mia restaurant in the Gaslamp District.
Restaurateur Sergio Torrisi said Robo, 39, drove drunk into an outdoor dining area a half-hour after the Fourth Avenue eatery closed at 10 p.m. Sunday and later lied about the Halloween night incident that allegedly saw Robo pepper-spray the Italian restaurant’s manager.
After hearing the rant, News Director Lauren Schmitt of radio station KMUD — “Redwood Community Radio” based in Redway — said “immediate action is being taken.”
Read the full article. There’s much more.
As I reported yesterday, Robo lobbed a string of racist comments and death wishes at San Diego supervisors during the public comments portion of a meeting on a local vaccine mandate.
Anti-Vaxxers at @SanDiegoCounty tell supervisors to hang themselves, that they hope one supervisor gets hung from a tree, another to have her arteries clog. Compare a prominent Black leader to Aunt Jamima. @NoraVargasSD stands up to them w/o fear! #IStandWithNora #NotOnHerWatch pic.twitter.com/rwLKktFK2e
