Nick Harrington, who also sits as a magistrate, was clearly moved to anger after the Irish judges failed to vote for UK entry Lucie Jones.
In his ire, he tweeted: "#Eurovision2017 thanks Ireland. You can keep your ********** gypsies! Hard border coming folks!"
Unsurprisingly his comments drew angry calls to the police and Warwick District Council - as well as a slew of remarks on his Twitter feed.
His Twitter account was deleted after the post, but not before it had been screen grabbed and shared across social media.
Warwick District Council leader Andrew Mobbs suspended Mr Warrington for six months pending a full investigation.
In a statement the council said: "We apologise unreservedly for the offence and upset that his comments have caused."
Police are also investigating the tweet sent from the councillor's account after complaints from members of the public.

He sounds like a really unbiased magistrate doesn't he?

The Eurovision is another European institution I'd like to leave. Shame we can't have a referendum on that.

awww no, I love the Eurovision, my husband and I have watched it together for the last 40 years, never missed a year, having a referendum could destroy what has become a tradition in my home

Lucie was really good but I'm glad Polands won, I loved the song and thought it well deserved.
