Denver Post fileDenver City Councilman Paul López. The dust-up started with a pitched disagreement on a Denver city councilman’s Facebook page, sparked by his posting of photos showing Halloween costumes that he characterized as offensive to Latinos. But unlike most social media spats, this one spilled over into real life months later — in a big way. After Councilman Paul López confronted his critic, Victoria Reynolds, at a Denver Democrats meeting a couple of weeks ago, she returned fire Tuesday night on the floor of the City Council chambers. She accused López of targeting her unfairly in public, calling her a racist and using an expletive at that earlier event.
