The Democratic majority leader of the Yonkers City Council allegedly railed that she wanted to “slice this b—h’s throat” after a fellow lawmaker voted unsuccessfully to remove her from the post earlier this month, according to a complaint.
Councilwoman Tasha Diaz made the alleged remark about Councilwoman Corazon Pineda-Isaac after a local council reorganization meeting on Jan. 2, multiple sources told The Journal News .
Several people in the local council chamber claim they heard Diaz mutter the menacing comment soon after Pineda-Isaac unsuccessfully voted against the Democratic majority leader retaining her role for the next two years.
“I need to get out of here before I slice this b—h’s throat,” one source recalled Diaz saying while she was still in the council chamber.
Moments later while in the council president’s adjacent office, another source alleged Diaz repeated that she wanted to “slit” her fellow councilwoman’s neck.
