PRESS RELEASE: Pattern Of Camden County Democrats Hiding Bad Behavior Continues

Camden County Republican Chairman Rich Ambrosino called out what he calls “a pattern of county Democrats hiding bad behavior of elected officials” after a Cherry Hill councilwoman resigned over insensitive racial remarks. Ambrosino’s press release follows:

Camden County Republican Chairman Rich Ambrosino, after reading multiple reports that Cherry Hill Councilwoman Carolyn Jacobs resigned following a racially insensitive remark she made, wondered why the Democrats kept the incident quiet for nearly two weeks.

“Here we go again, a Democrat exhibits bad behavior, county Democrats keep it quiet for as long as possible,” Rich Ambrosino said. “It’s a pattern with the Democrats, an Assemblyman admits to punching his girlfriend, it takes 11 days for him to resign. A township Commissioner crashes his car into another, leaves the scene, lies to the police and blames the accident on his wife, not a peep from the county Democrats. A Deputy Mayor gets in a bar fight, again not a peep from the Democrats. And now, in Cherry Hill, a Councilwoman makes a racially insensitive remark, she takes five days to resign and then another six days before we learn about it on a political news website.”

Ambrosino continued, “For a party that acts so righteous, especially on issues related to women and race, one would think Camden County Democrats would be more proactive exposing these types of incidents. They certainly shouldn’t be trying to hide them.”

“While Councilwoman Jacobs did eventually do the right thing and resign, once again Democrats in Camden County did the wrong thing and tried to hide the bad behavior of one of their own from the public,” Ambrosino said. “It’s time for this pattern of county Democrats hiding bad behavior of elected officials to end. Voters are sick of it and I think they are beginning to realize the only way to end it is to end single party rule in Camden County.”
