WARREN, Mich. - Warren Mayor Jim Fouts said new audio released Monday by MotorCityMuckraker.com, which alleges racist and sexist comments by the mayor, is fake.

Fouts insists the audio recordings, which allegedly captured him making racist comments about black people and vulgar sexist comments about women, have been fabricated by Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel. The source of the recordings is not known and was not reported.

"Those are engineered tapes by Mark Hackel and his friends. That is not my voice," Fouts said Monday as he left a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event in Warren. "Those are engineered tapes inspired by Mark Hackel, just like the last one. It is not me. That is not me at all."
