Former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz’s city council position is safe for now.
Following a lengthy online meeting (video and agenda available here) of the Huntington Beach City Council on Monday that included a debate as well as input from constituents of Huntington Beach, Calif., it was decided that members would not proceed with a vote that would have potentially seen Ortiz removed from his position as the council’s Mayor Pro Tem.
Ortiz has come under fire since being elected to city council in November as he has continued to tout public conspiracy theories related to QAnon and the COVID-19 pandemic among others.
