New Jersey mayor tells Twitter user to call the cops on Jewish ‘invaders’

A New Jersey mayor is facing mounting backlash for telling a constituent to call the cops on Jewish people for going to the beach.

Brick Township Mayor John G. Ducey was responding to a flat-out anti-Semitic tweet by user @simms10471 Tuesday night asking: “Can we please do something about our parks and beaches. They are being invaded by the hasidic and orthodox jews and being ruined.”

“Our tax paying residents are being forced out while politicians sit and do nothing,” the user added.

Instead of condemning the tweet, Ducey, a Democrat, responded: “Just call police with any problems and they will send them out.”


After major backlash from other Twitter users throughout Tuesday night and into Wednesday, Ducey tried to back-pedal.

“This twitter feed (and the world in general) is no place for bigotry or hateful comments,” he tweeted. “They are hurtful and divisive. They are condemned by me and all who are trying to make a difference in the world. Look for the good in you and others and the world will be a bettter place.”
