Shocking new audio obtained by TLS shows that disgraced former Jackson Planning Board member Richard Egan compared a sitting Council member to Hitler.
In the short sound clip, Egan is heard telling a group that Ken Bressi, currently on the Jackson Council, is reminiscent of Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. Calling Bressi “delusional,” “deranged,” and a “psycho,” Egan compared Bressi to the destruction wrought by Hitler.
Egan is a current member of the Jackson GOP, and is Mike Reina’s “blood brother,” according to Reina.
Are these comments indicative of what the Jackson GOP has become? How can a party who says they are against all forms of hate and bigotry allow an individual like Richard Egan to be “one of them”? His comparing of a local politician to one of the most demonic animals in history demonstrates his insensitivity toward those whose families perished in the Holocaust, as well as a total lack of understanding regarding the evils of Hitler. His comments do not only show his baseless hatred for politicians unlike himself, but they also spit on the graves of the millions of Jews who died because of Hitler’s atrocities. This is not a man who should be welcomed by any party, not to mention the Jackson GOP which claims to be staunchly opposed to comments like those made by Egan.
If Jackson GOP party members, many of whom supported a resolution condemning BDS, truly cared about Jewish people and the need to mute those who make offensive and bigoted statements, they would dismiss Richard Egan from the Republican party immediately.
Will they? Inquiring minds would like to know.
reinas friend???
Is Ken Bressi Jewish? If not, I don’t understand the issue here. It’s def deplorable to compare him to someone who he should by far not be compared to, but how is this offensive to Jews?
Rich is a product of Clara Glorys hateful Republican club
Orthodox Jackson residents should join the Jackson GOP and have a voice! Don’t complain from the outside.
She has no official County Committee position. She is just a member of the local Republican club. They can boot her at the next meeting and they should as a show of good will and good faith to the County and the GOP Committee. Also complain to FB about her posts.
