Anti-Immigration Song Offends People At Police Banquet
POSTED: 8:14 am EDT May 11, 2007
PLANT CITY, Fla. -- A song called "Press One for English" offended many audience members, including elected officials, at a law enforcement awards banquet in Plant City.
Hillsborough County Commissioner Kevin White said the song's lyrics contained anti-immigrant themes and urged non-English speakers to leave the United States.
The song was performed by a Kentucky-based husband and wife duet called The Rivoli Revue. They were hired as entertainment for Tuesday's East Hillsborough Law Enforcement Appreciation Dinner.
Doug Gibbs, the treasurer of the committee that organized the dinner, said he's sorry that the performance overshadowed a worthy cause.
"We are sorry that we offended some of the people by their song. I can honestly say I did not hear that song. From what I understand, it was inappropriate," Gibbs said.
The Rivoli Revue could not be reached.
