This video is really something. Arlington, Texas Mayor Jim Ross has his face blurred out for some reason, but his words are loud and clear. The Dallas Express says this video was shot back in 2018 by VICE at an LGBTQ event over Labor Day weekend in New Orleans. Why it's only resurfaced now is a mystery, but it's causing a backlash against Ross, and for good reason. This is more vulgar than all of Keith Obermann's tweets put together. (Language warning).
Carlos Turcios reports for the Dallas Express:
Arlington Mayor Jim Ross is facing backlash after newly surfaced footage from 2018 shows him using vulgar language and making explicit remarks toward a Christian street preacher.
The video, recorded by Vice News in 2018, was filmed at the Southern Decadence festival in New Orleans, an LGBTQ event held annually over Labor Day weekend. In the footage, Ross, whose face was blurred, can be heard addressing street preacher Ruben Israel with crude language and profanity.

“You stand out here like you are a b*dass motherf*cker,” Ross continued. He then asked Israel, “You don’t think anal sex is good, do you? Have you ever f*cked your old lady in the *ss? I’d f*ck your old lady in the *ss.”
Despite Ross’ comments, Israel and others did not directly engage. Ross continued, stating, “Shut your *ss, shut your *ss, you little piece of sh*t. You ought to talk sh*t, these people around here are having a good f*cking time.” At another point, he called Israel a “p*ssy motherf*cker.”
The footage ends with Ross approaching the group and appearing to initiate a confrontation.
Someone's got some serious anger management issues.
Here's the face that was blurred out:

We've heard a lot here at Twitchy, but this is probably the most vile thing we've come across. This video was just uploaded on Friday by the Dallas Express, so we're still waiting to hear if there will be any repercussions. He outght to have resigned by now.
