The voiceofsandiego.org has reported the following Twitter message from Alex Roth, a spokesperson for Mayor Jerry Sanders:
“I’m beginning to see more and more similarities between the Heaven’s Gate cult and today’s Republican Party.”
The spokesperson issued a clarification and apology after receiving media attention. Seems like a bizarre statement for a PR person to issue publicly.
Your thoughts?

The Office of the Mayor must be ashamed. What an awful thing to say about Heaven’s Gate!
I’m seeing more and more unprofessionalism out of the Mayor’s office. Sad…. I’m embarrassed to have supported him.
The comparison is obviously a fallacy. The Heaven’s Gate folks rented a home in Rancho Santa Fe. Republicans living in the Ranch clearly don’t rent.
Saw this posted on VOSD where they reference this guy as a “new” mayoral spokesperson. My question is – why, in the midst of a supposed hiring freeze, is the mayor’s office adding new staff?
He must have thought he was a reporter again.
