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.

The democrat controlled media dilberately miss portrayed Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black. He was arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill .When actually he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured by not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control Check out

The results of politically induced miss reporting used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial. Led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period

Carve out sections of Pennslyvania, Illinois and California and them in red state America. The blue part can have Cleveland.

Don’t forget Pittsburgh. Trump “lost” Allegheny County 40-60. It’s usually 90% Democrat.

“consider peeling off large sections of western New York (my original home), Pennsylvania,...”

Agree. Western NY is where I was raised, and Pennsylvania is where I was born — all conservative areas. Western NY can be more conservative than many here in Tennessee. Basically, almost all of NY outside of the NYC area should secede.
