Mayor shamed lawyer into resigning over offensive Facebook meme but her allies shared the same post

Source: NJ.com

A day after a public defender working for Hamilton Township was asked to resign after sharing an insensitive post on Facebook, three other members of township staff are accused of similar behavior.

Three township employees, including one who worked on Mayor Kelly Yaede’s campaign staff, all shared insensitive memes on their personal Facebook pages, according to screenshots seen by NJ Advance Media.

One of the employees, an engineer with the township, shared the same meme referencing the KKK that Edward Gore, a public defender that had worked with the township, had shared. The shared image compared Democrats wearing white at this week’s State of the Union to Ku Klux Klan. Gore, who is a former Republican town councilman, was asked to resign on Wednesday, hours after the post was brought to the attention of the administration.

The other two employees shared an image mocking Muslims. The photo depicts a Muslim man sitting on a toilet saying Muslims, “don’t use toilet paper. They use their hand.”

This is Hamilton Township Mercer County New Jersey. It's a pubican shithole, to quote our traitor-in-chief's terminology, but it's still New Jersey and the very idea that this type of partisan bullshit is infecting a so-called blue state at this level is indicative of the atmosphere our own twitler is creating every day he's allowed to remain in the office he stole.

I believe endemic racism from public defenders and mayoral staff is as reprehensible or worse than any behavior Democrats are being forced to resign over. Where is the outcry for Mayor Yeade to resign?

This should go NATIONAL. Viral. Whatever you call it these days.

the county includes the state capital (Trenton) and tony Princeton... But is also right across the river from here (PA) - i.e., across from reddish Bucks County, home to similar ilk!
