Sag Harbor trustees censured Mayor Thomas Gardella and called for his resignation after an investigation found he violated the village's anti-harassment and social media policies.
The village launched an investigation into Gardella's social media use last month after he posted a comment on an Instagram video made by Texas resident Rebecca Chavez. In the video, Gardella appeared to insult Chavez’s wife, Deanah, who has a short haircut. Gardella wrote: “What’s that thing in the background? A guy A girl? some creature?”
Chavez previously described the remark to Newsday as "homophobic" and "horrific."
