GOP Assembly candidate: ‘if you want to act like niggers, go back to Paulsboro’
Republican State Assembly candidate Lee Lucas told neighbors “if you want to act like niggers, go back to Paulsboro,” according to a 2006 Greenwich Township police report detailing a neighbor dispute.
“Yeah, I said that,” a police officer says Lucas told him. “It’s my freedom of speech. I can say what I want while I’m on my property.”
Newly-elected Gloucester County GOP Chairman Bill Fey and Assembly Majority Leader Alex DeCroce (R-Parsippany) have called on Lucas to drop out of the race amidst other allegations of racially insensitive remarks. Don’t expect Lucas to leave the race anytime soon.
