"It is obviously pretty innocuous, and quite frankly there is nothing there," Kevin Griffis told CNN. "The mayor is well known for communicating with people from all walks of life … He is a real person and he has normal human interactions on Twitter."
"I think he is the kind of person that doesn't judge other people or pass judgment on them," Griffis added. "They are trying to make a living and not hurting anybody else."
