A local Virginia lawmaker, is fed up with the lies being circulated in city council.

Portsmouth City Councilwoman Lisa Lucas Burke went off after the city council voted to oust city manager Angel Jones in a 4-3 vote. Burke was particularly upset that several of her fellow councilmembers renigged on their decision to keep the city manager in her current position.

When asked to apologize, Burke issued this tweet.

"I've been told I owe an apology for the language I used this week. I agree. I apologize for not saying it sooner."

Councilwoman Lisa Lucas-Burke spoke with Roland Martin during Tuesday's edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered about her strong comments.
