A tense moment unfolded at Wednesday’s meeting of the Anchorage Assembly’s Housing and Homelessness Committee when a public testifier accused Assembly Chairman Chris Constant of mouthing “Fuck you” at her moments before her testimony.
Amber Brophy King, an Anchorage resident and vocal critic of the city’s homelessness policies, took to the microphone during the public comment portion of the meeting. As she approached the podium, Chairman Constant was seen leaving the room. Before that, however, video from the official Assembly livestream appears to show Constant turning toward Brophy King and mouthing the insulting profanity.
This is the same Assembly member caught on tape flashing the “Loser” sign at a member of the audience in 2021:
We have the receipts: A brief clip of the end of her testimony is here, followed by a clip from the municipality’s official video, when Constant mouths the profanity at her. Her full testimony is in a video at the bottom of the page.
Brophy King addressed the incident directly at the end of her remarks, stating on the record:
“I’d like to get one thing more on the record — how unprofessional it was for Mr. Constant to get up and leave while I was speaking, but also how unprofessional it was for him to turn around and mouth ‘F-U’ to me on the floor when I was sitting right there.”
Her main testimony criticized the city’s approach to homelessness, highlighting personal experiences and systemic failures. She described intervening in a drug overdose near the Dimond Center a month ago and being advised by 911 dispatchers to leave the woman and not administer Narcan. She said she saved the woman’s life with Narcan anyway, and an ambulance never came.
Brophy King also referenced a break-in at her home that took Anchorage Police three hours to respond to, citing it as an example of how the city’s response systems have broken down — not only for the housed, but for the homeless population itself. She criticized the Assembly for spending more than $250 million on homelessness with “no real outcomes,” pointing to a rise in tents, overdoses, and crime.
“What we lack is accountability and results,” she said. “Where is the data showing how many people have successfully exited homelessness to regain stability?”
She also accused the city of awarding “lucrative contracts to friends” and failing to implement proven solutions seen in other cities. Calling for a public audit and a uniform standard of enforcement and intervention, she concluded by saying.
“This isn’t just a public safety crisis — it’s an economic, social, and moral one.”
The confrontation with Chairman Constant drew visible reactions from members of the public in attendance, though the committee did not immediately address Brophy King’s claim on the record.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Chairman Constant has not issued a public response regarding the allegation or the video footage.
Alternate view of longer video for those on mobile devices:
The Anchorage Assembly has been under increasing scrutiny over its management of homelessness and public safety, especially with recent proposals involving sanctioned “parking lot” encampments, emergency shelter policy, and contract allocations.
Brophy King’s comments add fuel to a growing chorus of criticism demanding transparency, measurable results, and competent leadership from city officials.
I’m sorry, but I am beating a dead horse. The people we have representing us in this city are disgrace. And we, the people do not show up to vote them out of office. It breaks my heart.
Don’t be sorry, your frustration’s righteous.
.
How do you know for a fact people don’t “show up to vote” when those who count votes work for vermin like what’s pictured?
.
What part of Anchorage’s election process is so free and fair that voters should trust it without question?
.
Remind again why Assembly members forced mail-in voting on residents?
.
Speaking of dead horses, look at that portrait again ..could that be the face of someone who’s known for some time that he doesn’t have to worry about elections because the people who”count” votes work for him?
JSC and Morrigan you are exactly right…if the citizens of Anchorage cannot take 30 minutes out of their day to cast a simple ballot they deserve what they get…and they are the ones that bitch the loudest
I have no problem believing no one is showing up to vote. Elections are rigged to encourage low voter turnout. The reason we separate local and federal elections is that local elections typically draw a small percentage of voters, and liberals have a much better turnout than conservatives do.
This has been going on for decades and is why Anchorage has a deep blue government.
The mail-in elections greatly contribute to the low turn-out. It is a system that is unreliable (had neighbors, who did not get ballots in the mail), breaks the chain of custody of your ballot and per anecdotal reports mails ballots to individual no longer residing in the Muni. Now they want to foist RCV on top of that, which is universally disliked and will drive turn-out even lower.
Anchorage is not a deep blue city. I have harped on this point constantly, if you don’t move muni elections to the fall when we have State and Federal elections, this will never change. You can’t beat the Union phone banks and the muni employees votes when other income producing people have lives. Until this happens, nothing will change. Mat-su did this. Republicans don’t make this a priority. This can change at the State level for the whole state too.
To Richard Corbeil, may we respectfully suggest belief is poor substitute for fact.
.
Anchorage voters have no way of knowing, or more importantly verifying, voter turnout or election results.
.
Voter turnout? Compared to the inherently corrupted mail-in balloting process means what, exactly?
.
Good news is the process is only as strong as its weakest link …one disgruntled whistleblower, down goes this house of cards.
Why are homosexuals such angry people?
This one is in a Constant state of butthurt
At least Rivera does not seem to be similarly perpetually angry and arrogant. Misguided, ignorant and idiotic, yes, but that goes with the radical leftist territory.
What an insufferable twit! Anchorage, why do you elect these losers?
Because Anchorage is full of dumb people who either vote these losers in by voting or not voting at all.
All we know about voter turnout, mail-in ballot numbers, and election results is what we’re told by the unelected officials who work for Constant.
Anchorage was targeted by the left 10 years ago and obviously they have taken over and now we look like every other west coast city.
I do not think Anchorage elects these losers.
I think:
1. Changing muni elections to April instead of November helps by reducing turnout
2. 100% mail in voting helps elect them
3. Gerrymandering in the 1st degree helps elect them
4. A ballot counting process that is damned near impossible to observe helps elect them
5. The Clerk overseeing the election works directly for the Assembly elects them.
6. And coming soon… RCV at the local level will ensure continue leftist control of the city.
.
Combine that with overall human apathy about local politics, and you get a recipe for leftist control.
1. When have local elections in Anchorage ever been held in November?
3. I followed the most recent Assembly redistricting process extensively and reported back to a number of groups of conservative activists. None of them cared one bit. They didn’t care either in 2020 when Constant led the charge to put the Assembly apportionment scheme in the charter when it had been in ordinance for several decades, aggressively deflecting any questions about the appropriateness of such a move. Back to the redistricting process, no one batted an eye about its timing, being held in the middle of the election. Plans were shifted constantly depending on polling data for the election. The response to Randy Sulte’s election was to write him out of the district (a similar thing occurred with Stephanie Taylor, except she wasn’t elected). The reaction of his supporters? Crickets. Meanwhile, Yarrow Silvers immediately expressed thoughts of challenging his eligibility for the office as a result of that redistricting.
5. Clerks serve at the pleasure of the governing body just about everywhere. Maybe you’re a little too influenced by the likes of Bronson and Trump and believe that putting all the power in the hands of autocratic heads of state is a good thing, instead of separate but equal branches of government performing checks and balances. I’ll take the latter.
I have a feeling that a man is going to check Constant in the future.
What if that was your wife or daughter – and an effeminate man was talking to them like that?
Come out to the Valley and behave like that, please.
But, at that same time we a re supposed to show the upmost respect to a high school Furrie student that wants use a litter box in the bathroom.
Please, never, ever allow any of the Assembly elected be allowed to run for State legislature, what a class of clowns their public perception, decisions, and persona present. Too, same for the voters who allowed these misfits to be elected, guilty by association, one could say.
Al, great point! I’m recalling that the last time Mr. Constant (disappointment) tried to be elected to a higher office, that ‘Santa Claus’ (literally!) got more votes! Too funny!
Sorry to break the election results but Forrest Dunbar and Andrew Gray (wasn’t on the Assembly but shed enough tears on their shoulders) won state seats very easy.
Tells us a lot about their voter districts and the integrity of voter turnout.
And Claman ….. and Elvi G-Jackson ….. and Josephson
The ANC Assembly is coming to Juno folks.
Constant hates women.
He’s such a corruptible and angry little man.
Not completely true Brystole.
I recall during a past important election Chris Constant showed up down at the election office right in the middle of the ballot counting process with a very rich bouquet of flowers for his employee Barb Jones who was in the middle of counting thousands of ballots.
That gesture in itself takes a very special kind of “Boss”.
Now tell me he hates ALL women.
Emotionally, he’s a petulant little child, Andy.
.
ps. Was there a motive linked to bringing flowers to an election worker?
One Quarter Billion dollars.
Nothing will come of this from the Assembly members to discipline Mr. Chairman and expletive pointed at Brophy King. Business as usual in the chamber. Keep sticking it to Assembly, Brophy King. Everything you state is true and factual and Constant has no answer to this as “The Chair” and has to head straight to the gutter as he departs with his tail between his legs.
Mr. Chair, point of order, you are out of compliance, personal attacks are not appropriate nor are gestures made into an “L” with your index finger and thumb (e.g. Loser). The Chair shall come to order or be ejected. Yeah, right. Robert’s Rules of Order apply to thee but not to me.
This hostility must stop people you are mentoring this behavior to our children. We may not agree, but hate breeds nothing more than more hatred.
This is an ethics violation and should be pursued.
Pursued by whom? other degenerates on the assembly obviously have no morals or ethics either. What a pathetic clown show Anchorage has become.
It’s too late – this is where the LefTards have brought us.
We all know what’s coming – AND we all know who will win.
Enjoy.
If he had said stat to my wife he would need a nose job about now. What a POs. Anchorage your city suckith.
Chris constant you should resign.
Its over Constant, get out, leave already.
Bro is a clown
Looks likes from his appearance that he is self imploding. All disheveled and dressed like he just woke up after an all night bender at the local crackhouse.. Maybe his boyfriend left him or something.
Boy’s still mad ’cause somebody won’t let certain folks of the male persuasion bunk at the women’s shelter and somebody else had chutzpah to call him on it?
.
When your job is to manage on behalf of the electorate and you can’t spare a moment to listen to them on paid company time… and then need to denigrate that same electorate, it’s time for Anchorage voters to say F/U Constant, you POS. You’ve squandered enough money to have proven to everyone that you have no skills in this area beyond a parasite’s attraction to the sixty bones you make doing this. I’m not a fan of it myself but in your case it’s a perfect suggestion; bugger off.
This is exactly what the Anchorage assembly thinks of the residents of Anchorage. Maybe if the 80+ % would show up and vote, Anchorage wouldn’t be a sh//hole and have a//e/ as leaders.
Many people seem to not want to vote, because the cards are “stacked” and they somehow always win..Whether because of bad voting machines or they have “friends” in the right places when counting ballots or whatever.
To Andrew Peterson, may we respectfully suggest we’ve no verifiable idea who “shows up to vote”.
.
Throw in mail-in balloting, about which we’re allowed to know nothing except what the Assembly’s employees tell us, we’re in the dark …through no fault of our own.
.
Throw in the real possibility that accountability’s unlikely to happen through Alaska’s verifiably corrupted grand jury system …Houston, we have a problem!
Poor Mr. Constant, it must be hard to witness the complete failure of your world view. However, to insult a woman, or fellow human being, for pointing that failure out to others who may not have your acuity, is degrading to our city. Time for you to resign and take a vacation. Stay away from Portland or Seattle, they’ll cause more soul searching than your obviously weak character can handle.
What’s up with wearing a T-shirt to an official meeting?
Assemblyman Constant is a ticking time bomb. He will unravel and explode in a very humiliating or, perhaps, very dangerous way soon if he does not get some professional help. This is the face of an assembly that has been used to getting its own way and being able to hide the unsavory things that it does with complicit help from the Anchorage Daily News and other local media. His meltdown will be glorious. When it happens, the best thing we can hope for is that it splatters all over his socialist allies on the Assembly.
How can we help him reach his breaking point???
Boy has an exploitable problem.
.
Keep hammering on his predator-pervert pals’ breathless desire to bunk in women’s shelters.
.
Never let up, never let go, hammer away, inevitably this one’ll self-immolate in a career-ending tantrum from which even his besties can’t extract him.
.
Then we’ll celebrate, you might have to buy, no?
Reminds me of when Jamie Allard was on the Assembly during an important policy decision in which He voted against it to stall the procedure and He was caught saying on an unknown “hot microphone” the words “I just didn’t want her to have the power”.
Just think for a moment how the Lefties would respond if Constant was a conservative throwing tantrums walking out of meetings and degrading women in the chambers.
There would be “No Kings” protests everyday of the week with burning looting and rioting in the streets.
Maybe Chris is suffering from the effects of Manopause?
….you mean “no queens” protest, right?
‘Manopause?’ Oh, too funny! You know, he’s starting to look just like that grumpy old man in the movie ‘Up!’
Benjamin felt a nose nuzzling at his shoulder. He looked round. It was Clover. Her old eyes looked dimmer than ever. Without saying anything, she tugged gently at his mane and led him round to the end of the big barn, where the Seven Commandments were written. For a minute or two they stood gazing at the tatted wall with its white lettering.
“My sight is failing,” she said finally. “Even when I was young I could not have read what was written there. But it appears to me that that wall looks different. Are the Seven Commandments the same as they used to be, Benjamin?”
For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran:
ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL
BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS
Let’s have a No Queens day to remove Constant.
He seems nice. /
I forgot to thank you Amber for having the courage to face this group of degenerates.
You are doing the very thing I admire the most by speaking it loud and clear right in front of them the same way Bernadette Wilson did to them during the phony wuhan farce lockdowns.
I just love it when a woman has the guts to call them out one by one when they have less than zero respect for women.
It sounds so much more intense than when a whiner like Chris’s buddy Sam Brinton complains about the Anchorage childrens mental health policy regarding gender dysphoria but that’s another skeleton hanging in Chris’s closet.
Such a classy guy.
The fact that he refused to listen to a member of the public speak during her allotted time should be grounds for removal alone. It’s literally his job to listen to the public’s concerns in this circumstance. Dereliction of duty and so disrespectful. He’s a parasite who thinks he’s a king. The disdain he has for those whom he is supposedly representing is disgraceful.
Who is her regular employer?? They should suffer for. Paying that petty little tyrant cancel can work both directions
Is this English? Chuck what exactly are you trying to say here?
What did you expect from an OPENLY Gay liberal Assembly Member? Most of the Assembly is composed of feminine men and liberal women. Very angry and emotional.
Oh.
So he’s gay?
Explains a lot.
Mental issues for sure.
Deep resentment against the God Flag, and Family crowd.
His day is coming – and it won’t be merciful.
Does not like women. Does not respect them. But these Anchorage liberal women simply ignore it and vote for this clown.
Shame on you.
LibTard logic.
Feminists, by voting for Constant, are dummies.
Well isn’t he the most repugnant sniveling little beach you ever saw. He cant face the truth, is this really what you want in your assembly Anchorage?
The majority of the people on the assembly look like adults, but they have a mental age of a 12 year old.
Maybe Chris left to go F himself…!..If not he left to go F others, who you say? Chris is F-ing us at every opportunity! Now as for his ‘mouthing’ FU to a lady, no, that didn’t happen you say? Because from what I’ve heard Chris has no interest in the ‘fairer sex’. Of course I don’t know that, and to be fair, I must retract any and all of my assumptions about Chris, except of course for Chris’ F-ing the good folks of Anchorage, that stands! Only a maggot would do something like that…!
At least Suzanne has been sparing us from being assaulted by photos of Rivera.
Don’t tempt me. – sd
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As long as RCV is here we’re gonna be saddled with the rule of Wokeness! Get involved, officially folks, remember Plato said:
One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors…! Never more apropos to the Anchorage Assembly!
Amber for Assembly!
Amber for Mayor.
Seriously!
Chris Constant personifies contemptuous arrogance. He knows he faces no consequences for what he does on the Assembly. Anchorage is turning into typical urban machine politics with the likes of Chris Constant being its results. Anchorage must do better.
When an elected official disrespects a member of the public openly, it is time to make some easy decisions.
The time has come to end the reign of the Left in Anchorage!
These officials do not care about the Citizen/Voter.
Prove me wrong…
And not a even a hint of this will be mentioned by AK Public Media or ADN or “Alaska’s News Source”, but if Bronson or any of his staff ever did anything like this during a meeting it would have been wall to wall coverage with demands for firings and muni lawyers having to weigh in on it.
The biggest obstacle to the homeless problem is getting the leftists on this assembly to admit they were ever wrong about a thing. I think they need to be fooled with flattery.
$250 million to go backwards and the navigation center was going to be only $5 mil. We just need someone that is good at vocal fry and uptalking to propose the same thing with a different name while bad mouthing conservative talking points and they will totally go for it. We could name it the “Constant Change Center” because without his gracious support, it would have never happened….
There are many with gender dysphoria who think they’re a woman trapped in a man’s body, but this guy really is – he’s embraced his inner-liberal Karen to the maximum extent possible.
Too many lefty nut jobs on the assembly.
