Mother of New Jersey mayor blames Koreans for son's possible reelection defeat in racist rant
The longtime mayor of Palisades Park, N.J., apologized Thursday on behalf of his elderly mother for penning a racist rant as her son trailed his Korean-American opponent in the Democratic primary.
James Rotundo rushed to defend her — but not the Facebook post she penned accusing Koreans of committing voter fraud, NorthJersey.com reported.
"Go to hell PALISADES PARK, let the GD Koreans have this F'n town," Lorraine Rotundo wrote, according to the newspaper. "All of us AMERICANS are so done. I am going to suggest that only English be spoken in our Boro Hall at least while an AMERICAN is still the mayor."
Rotundo told the paper he told his mother to delete the Facebook post.
