A man who was caught on camera launching into a racist outburst in a Pennsylvania town is stoking local outrage over the incident.
It shows local restaurant owner Jonathan Spanos admitting he’s a racist and repeatedly shouting the N-word at a motorist during a verbal altercation.
Spanos can be heard in the 40-second clip yelling, “Your half n— brother,” multiple times, and saying, “I am a racist.”
The X profile the video was published on claimed that the rant began after an alleged road rage incident. It also alleges that Spanos committed assault. A man with direct knowledge of what happened spoke to the York Daily Record on the condition of anonymity and stated the incident occurred in mid-October.
Spanos served on the college advisory board at the York campus of Penn State. After it was alleged that he was the aggressor in the video, a Penn State York spokesperson said the college “was looking into this matter with urgency.”
The day after issuing the statement, the university released that Spanos was no longer a board member. A spokesperson told local news outlets that he resigned.
