The Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling for the resignation of a Putnam County commissioner.
This, after Commissioner Walton Pellicer used an aniti-Muslim slur during a public meeting Tuesday.
Pellicer used the slur while discussing current military tensions and the war with Iran.
Pellicer defended his statement to Action News Jacksonville on Wednesday, saying his words were "strictly directed at nothing but the Iranian people of that regime."
