This man is so far up his own backside that he should be removed from office AND prevented from ever holding office again, his personal views are just that, personal, and should remain private, but as an elected official he isn’t there to follow his own opinions or beliefs he is there to represent the collective opinions and beliefs of the community and whatever his thoughts are, as soon as he put them on social media, they become public interest and a conflict of interests. Unfortunately the video doesn’t go on to show the outcome of the issue but I hope he was forced to resign and learn a very valuable lesson, a lesson all elected officials should remember, YOU SERVE AT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE, and those who put you in a position of trust and authority can just as soon remove you from that position.
, the difference is that one was fired by a private business that does not have to abide by the First Amendment protections whereas the politicians are protected under the First Amendment because they work for the government. See the difference?

Another out of control mayor. THis is so tiresome. If you would educate yourself on what things can and can not be done by elected officials before you run then you won't become so frustrated.
I dont really see how he's being out of control here (besides the screaming in a silent room). The man has the right to voice his opinion regardless how erroneous they are. If the "people" think he's too dumb for office, he will be voted out in the re-election. Nothing new here.

I used to live near Newton back in the '70s. It was a sleepy little town where nothing much happened; in fact, Sussex County itself was so rural and low-key that Newton, with probably 5,000 or so people, was called "the city"; if you said "I'm going to the city", people knew you were going to Newton. Everybody knew everybody, everybody got along, Wow. I couldn't have even IMAGINED anything like this happening back then. I realize that things change over the yeas, but I never would have seen something like this coming. Sad..
Idk about this case, but the fake news Trump talks about is very real. There are a plethora of videos showing how the media spins, lies and twists things around to fit the narrative they've chosen.
Mayor parrots buzzwords like fake news. High school girl parrots buzzwords like debunked and conspiracy. Let's erroneously side with the high school girl.
When you are a Mayor , your job is to take care of your town by fixing its problems , not go on a witch hunt about unrelated issues on social medias . Good riddance .

Your appearance, age, wealth, race, abilities, all play a factor in how people treat you. And that treatment can be a privilege or a burden. In the case of a white straight man you're more likely to be treated fairly and nicely than most other minorities. So don't tell me this kind of privilege doesn't exist.
