[Somerville, NJ] – A volunteer posted a meme on the Somerset County Democrats’ Facebook page that was intended to encourage people who are frustrated and angered by the vitriol, bigotry and racism coming from President Trump to engage in public life. The meme, which was not approved by party leaders and was removed as soon as it was discovered, was poorly written and used phrases that the Somerset County Democratic Committee not only disagrees with but disavows.

The Somerset County Democrats are patriotic and love America so much that we all volunteer our time to engage in local government, community activities and politics.  We also believe that the Somerset County Republicans are the same kind of patriotic Americans.

We are instituting new controls for our social media to ensure that improper messages are not posted in the future, and apologize for this oversight.
