Official who called ‘Jew her down’ a verb says Black women held to double standard
Trenton City Councilwoman Robin Vaughn, who said over the weekend that “Jew her down” was just a verb, is doubling down on her support of embattled Council President Kathy McBride.
“My Fellow Americans, a must read article in the Times of Israel,” Vaughan said in a post on her Facebook page. “Yet again, there appears to be a double standard in America when a white woman says an anti-Semitic comment she is allowed to apologize, it is accepted, no one required her to resign and everyone moves on. Why not the same forgiveness afforded to Council President Kathy McBride, who is Black?”

She (McBride) has not apologized for her comment, despite criticism from local and state political leaders, including U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker.
