A comment made from a Temecula councilwoman, that compared her mask defiance to Rosa Parks' fight to end segregation, has caught national attention now.
Stephen Colbert played Jessica Alexander's comments from a council meeting, which was on April 13, on his late-night show this week.
"She took a stance getting pushed to the back of the bus. This is what I'm telling you I feel like. I feel like I'm getting pushed to the back of the bus," she says in a recording that Colbert played on his show.
Colbert called Alexander's remarks "dumb."
One of Alexander's colleagues asked her to apologize - and some residents called for her to resign - at the latest council meeting on Tuesday saying the remarks were offensive and insensitive.
Alexander spoke but never addressed her comments.
