What’s going on in Trenton? Mayor, 2 on council face recall in midst of coronavirus pandemic.

It was the call heard 'round the world.

A May 2 virtual meeting meant for Trenton officials to discuss fighting the devastating coronavirus in the Capital City devolved into a mudslinging free-for-all of homophobic slurs and insults.

**SNIP**

But things escalated to new heights on May 2, when West Ward Councilwoman Robin Vaughn unloaded on East Ward Councilman Joe Harrison and Gusciora during a conference call for the local leaders to discuss the city’s response to the coronavirus.

In her rant, Vaughn called Gusciora a "pedophile,” a “woman” and a “bitch a**,” among a flood of expletives.

When Harrison tried to intervene, calling Vaughn a “crazy person,” the councilwoman accused the councilman of performing a sexual act on Gusciora, who is the city’s first openly gay mayor, and attacked his relationship with his parents.

“Why don’t you go find your father, Joe Harrison?” Vaughn said at one point, in an apparent reference to Harrison’s absent father.

Vaughn was blasted for her comments. In the days following the rant, Gov. Phil Murphy, U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Bob Menendez joined other state leaders and advocacy groups in calling for her resignation.

The councilwoman eventually apologized, but refused to resign.

Trans-sylvania’s bad enough, but I’m so ******* glad I don’t live in the PDRNJ (People’s Democratic Republic of New Jersey) any more.

“Why don’t you go find your father, Joe Harrison?”

A better question is, Who's Your Daddy?

Reed’s all right. Child of the 60’s Syndrome. Trenton is full of Shaneequas. That’s the problem.

The worst fate that befell Trenton was very early on becoming the state capitol. It might have otherwise developed more true local commerce were it not for the annual occupation of the state pols. The local population has declined steadily since 1990. Everywhere around Trenton has always seemed better off.
