| Description | CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon used foul language and “his physical presence in an aggressive and threatening manner” in a meeting with the mayor of Wyoming’s capital city, the mayor said Monday.
Gordon slammed his fists on a table and shouted “F--- you, mayor” in the meeting last Friday, said Cheyenne Mayor Marian Orr, who like Gordon is a Republican.
“For a split second I thought about walking out, but I felt like this was a very important issue,” Orr said of the meeting with Gordon about a possible visit to Wyoming in July for a Taiwanese government delegation during Cheyenne Frontier Days.
In a statement after Orr leveled the accusations, Gordon apologized for what he said but denied using intimidating body language.
“I am deeply offended by the mischaracterization represented in the mayor’s description of our meeting,” said Gordon. |
