(Jewish Group) Trenton council president uses 'Jew her down' slur in meeting

Trenton City Council President Kathy McBride said that a lawyer representing the city in a personal injury claim was “able to wait her out and Jew her down” to settle the case at a lower amount during an executive session of the City Council on September 5, the New Jersey Globe has learned.

McBride refused to comment on her statements when reached by the New Jersey Globe.

“I am not at privilege to speak about anything at executive session per the law that governs executive sessions,” McBride said. “It was an executive session and by the law I am not privy to speak on that per the law.”

Asked if she has made derogatory remarks about Jews outside of closed-door city council meetings, McBride said she would not comment on “hypotheticals.”

One Tuesday, Paterson City Councilman Michael Jackson accused a developer of trying to “Jew us down” on a major redevelopment project. Jeffrey Dye was fired from his job at the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development last month – and forced out of his post as Passaic NAACP president – after a history of anti-Semitic and anti-Latino comments became public.
