[Demovictory9]

MILTON — A town official has resigned after he used a code phrase popular with opponents of President Joe Biden to conclude his remarks at the town's Memorial Day observance on Monday.

Steven Fruzzetti, who is an elected member of the town's cemetery commission, resigned from the post late Thursday afternoon, said Milton Town Clerk Susan Galvin. Fruzzetti is also an elected member of the Massachusetts Republican State Committee.

At Monday's ceremony, Fruzzetti welcomed participants to the cemetery on behalf of the trustees, and thanked the staff for their work maintaining the cemetery and volunteers for placing an American flag on the grave of each veteran.

"Welcome, and let's go, Brandon," he concluded. The remarks were recorded by Milton Access Television.

4. Fruzzetti said he did not regret the remark

In a text message on Friday, Fruzzetti said he did not regret the remark itself or expressing his feelings toward Biden.

"I regret making it on behalf of the cemetery trustees. I have resigned from the board so I can continue to advocate for Republican policies that will reduce inflation and bring gas prices back to where they were before this disastrous president," Fruzzetti wrote.
