Montco Official [Joe Gale], Who Bashed Protests, Says He Won’t Cave to Calls to Resign
NBC 10 Philadelphia ^

Posted on 06/05/2020 7:09:20 PM PDT by Phillyred

Republican and Trump acolyte Joe Gale called the Black Lives Matter movement "perpetrators of urban domestic terror." 76ers player Tobias Harris and others demanded he resign.

Montgomery County Commissioner Joe Gale says he won't resign because of calls from Philadelphia 76ers player Tobias Harris and others over comments Gale released on Monday about the protests in Philadelphia.

In a statement, titled "Riots and Looting in Philadelphia," Gale described the Black Lives Matter movement as a "radical left-wing hate group" protesting a "bogus narrative of systemic police brutality and white racism."

"What we saw this weekend in Philadelphia was not a protest -- it was a riot," Gale wrote and posted online. "The perpetrators of this urban domestic terror are radical left-wing hate groups like Black Lives Matter. This organization, in particular, screams racism not to expose bigotry and injustice, but to justify the lawless destruction of our cities and surrounding communities. Their objective is to unleash chaos and mayhem without consequence by falsely claiming they, in fact, are the victims."

Philadelphia 76ers player Tobias Harris called for Gale to resign Tuesday. Others, including members of the Norristown Borough Council, have joined in demanding Gale leave his post as one of Montgomery County's three elected commissioners. The other two, Democrats Val Arkoosh and Kenneth Lawrence Jr., denounced Gale's statement.

...

He famously declared himself one of the first -- if not the first -- supporters of Donald Trump for president in all of Pennsylvania.

He told NBC10 on Wednesday that he "will not be bullied and pushed around for speaking the truth and exercising my First Amendment rights.

"The online petition calling for my resignation is a tool to silence me and those I speak for and consists of left-wing activists signers from all over the nation.

Love Gale. Hope he joins national politics at some point. This man wrote me a handwritten note when I donated to him. Solid as it gets.

I couldn’t care less what some basketball player thinks. Why is he worthy of being quoted? Who gives a damn.

I like that map — but consider peeling off large sections of western New York (my original home), Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, southern Illinois.

Add maybe southern New Jersey and the eastern portions of the Left Coast states.

Lots of good folks in these areas. They need to be liberated.

A great many people, especially weak-kneed republicans and Drew Brees, etc...should learn from a man like this AND especially, from President Trump.

Staking out a correct position and then immediately caving at the first sign of leftist opposition indicates a person of pathetic weakness and the leftists are like sharks smelling blood. Once they smell your weakness nothing you say or do will ever appease them. Ever.

Brees has since apologized, twice. And, no apology he offered has been good enough. They are calling for his retirement and want him ostracized forever.

I truly hope he can stand strong against the opposition.

Our young men and women need all the good examples they can be shown.
