The Equity Office also proposes the removal of some monument and the renaming of several streets referring to former slaveholders or [[Civil War]]figures. Noting that he had resided in Austin for two years before relocating to San Antonio, Rima lambasted the general population of the capital city, 68 percent of whom are white, but are heavily liberal in politics. Rima claimed that many white Austinites with whom he personally came into contact during his time there do not bathe regularly or use deodorant.<ref>''The Sean Rima Show'', July 30, 2018.</ref>

On January 26, 2018, Rima, a self-described "talk monkey", questioned the $75,000 bonus and pay increase approved by the San Antonio City Council for liberal city manager Sheryl Lee Sculley<ref name=bchasnoff>Brian Chasnoff, "City manager should stop feeding the trolls," ''San Antonio Express-News'', January 27, 2018, p. A2.</ref> (born May 20, 1952),<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mylife.com/sheryl-sculley/e757810503930|title=Sheryl Sculley|publisher=Mylife.com|accessdate=January 27, 2018}}</ref> who was first appointed to her position in 2005 by then Mayor Phil Hardberger. She had formerly been employed by the Heard Museum in [[Phoenix]], [[Arizona]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.intelius.com/people-search/Sheryl-Sculley/San%20antonio-TX|title=Sheryl Sculley|publisher=Intelius.com|accessdate=January 27, 2018}}</ref> Rima noted that Schlley's $475,000 annual salary is $75,000 more than that of the [[U.S. President]]. "Get a grip on yourself. ... What are you, the red queen?...," Rima asked Sculley on his radio broadcast. He even called her a "high-maintenance broad." Columnist Brian Chasnoff of the ''San Antonio Express-News'' noted that Rima calls himself a "talk monkey", not an [[Internet]] troll, but one who "shocks for attention - then gleefully feeds off the outrage."<ref name=bchasnoff/>
