That’s right, in this post where the video is located (see below) a commenter, speaking in the first person, says the blow up wasn’t her fault:
Actually, I had been bullying and harrassed for months before I lost my temper. At the time I was being yelled at by a citizen and my mayor wouldn’t control the room. I simple lost my temper and apologized for it publically and awful that it happened. It was orchestrated by David Madore who is a right-wing anti-govermentalist, “christian”.

HERE’S THE COMPLETE MESSAGE SHE PRESUMABLY MEANT TO POST ON YOU TUBE AND WHICH SHE SENT IN AN EMAIL TO A CONSTITUENT:
From: “Harris, Jeanne” <Jeanne.Harris@cityofvancouver.us> Date: June 20, 2011 1:24:47 PM EDT To: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Subject: RE: Out-of-Control City Councilwoman Bullies, IntimidatesActually, I had been bullying and harrassed for months before I lost my temper. At the time I was being yelled at by a citizen and my mayor wouldn’t control the room. I simple lost my temper and apologized for it publically and awful that it happened. It was orchestrated by David Madore who is a right-wing anti-govermentalist, “christian”. It is in fact, David that is the bully and has since been exposed by the local newspapers and blogs.
I’ve served my city for 14 years and love making this city a better place. At the time I was going through a horrendous divorce and Mr. Madore’s poking caught me on a bad day. We all agreed it was a setup because he had be videotaping council for weeks hoping to achieve his goal and do the worst thing anyone can do to someone, misrepresent them on the internet. Were I not an elected official I could sue for defamation. So please, ask for both sides of a story before you assume what you see on the internet is the whole story.
Please feel free to call me if you’d like to chat about this but I appreciate that you not continue to spread this around as if is a true depiction of who I am, because it is not. It is indeed slander at it’s very worst.
