LD15 Assembly Candidate Jennifer Williams Condemns Anti-Semitic Remarks

Regarding the recent controversy in our state capital and Trenton City Council over the use of an anti-Semitic slur, Legislative District 15 Assembly candidate Jennifer Williams issued the following statement:

“This entire situation troubles me greatly. As a lifelong resident of Trenton, I personally know City Council President Kathy McBride and Councilman George Muschal. I am surprised at the original comment made and subsequent justifications that have been offered. The phrase that was used in the City Council’s executive session is anti-Semitic and does not reflect the good people of Trenton.

“Both Council-members, along with Councilwoman Robin Vaughn should apologize not just to the individual they were referencing but to the entire Jewish community. As a fellow Trentonian, I also implore them to do the right thing by apologizing to the community at large.”
