Cllr Billy Webb said: “I am appalled and outraged by these disgusting comments by an elected representative.
“I believe that she was to be the DUP choice for Mayor of Newtownabbey Council, however, Alliance will be opposing her appointment as we do not believe she can hold the top civic position in Newtownabbey after she made these comments.
“If we are to reduce tension in our society and combat racism, then the last thing we need is a Councillor making such a stupid remark.
“I would call on her to apologise and retract her comments.”
