Even though it has now been removed, Culver City Mayor Jeff Cooper told Mother Jones JCPenney should have realized the billboard on the 405 freeway near Culver City was inappropriate before it even went up.
Cooper told Mother Jones via email, "I am disappointed JCPenney actually put the billboard up in the first place and more outraged that they actually attempted to defend it," he says in an email. "As a Jew, I am offended, [and] as an elected official, I am mad that the city I represent is linked to this."
