From AP, on the New Jersey Senate winner...
(quoted passages indicated by parentheses, to evade Elba glitch)
In a screenshot of a 2019 Twitter post captured by a WNYC reporter, Durr wrote, (Mohammed was a pedophile! Islam is a false religion! Only fools follow Muslim teachings! It is a cult of hate!)
(I support everybodys right to worship in any manner they choose and to worship the God of their choice,) Durr said in his statement to the media outlets. (I support all people and I support everybodys rights. Thats what I am here to do, work for the people and support their rights.)
Durr did not respond to phone and email messages from The Associated Press seeking comment Friday. A spokesperson for New Jersey Senate Republicans declined comment Friday, referring a reporter to Durrs statement.
Also on Friday, the New Jersey chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations called on Durr to meet with Muslim leaders and renounce hate.
In other posts, Durr seemed to equate not opposing COVID-19 vaccination mandates to remaining silent during the Holocaust, including with the post a photo of a yellow star that the National Socialist party forced Jewish people to wear.
He also said on Facebook that the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was not an insurrection but (an unauthorized entry by undocumented federal employers.)
Heh.
