San Antonio mayor hijacks pro-Project Marvel press conference, argues with Spurs Jesus
San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones crashed a pro-Project Marvel press conference at City Hall on Wednesday morning, prompting a verbal showdown with Spurs Jesus, a local fan of the NBA team who's achieved minor celebrity status for his colorful costume choice. Organized by the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, the press conference featured local business leaders, including celebrity chef Johnny Hernandez, speaking about why they support the city moving quickly to help fund a new Spurs arena. After a few minutes, Jones walked to the front of the crowd, announcing that she wasn't invited but felt it necessary to cut in so she can explain why she's called for a pause in negotiations for Project Marvel.
