Mayoral candidate Manuel Medina, supporters blast San Antonio Express-News over residence claims
Cries of "fake news" echoed across the front entrance of the San Antonio Express-News building Monday afternoon as the sun beat down on mayoral candidate Manuel Medina, who gathered a group of supporters to protest a recent Express-News column.
The opinion column, written by Brian Chasnoff, outlined Medina's residence record, specifically a period of 11 years during which he was employed in Mexico. At the Express-News Monday, Medina called the piece a "hit job," saying he'd lived in the U.S. since immigrating at the age of 3.
Roughly 40 protesters cheered the mayoral candidate and said Chasnoff "has to go."
Chasnoff's column, published March 29, also detailed Medina's run for office in Mexico in 2005. When Chasnoff asked Medina at the protest what was inaccurate in the column, the mayoral candidate refused to answer.
