Republican New Jersey Mayor Ousted After Refusing to Fly the Pride Flag

Sharing is Caring!

A New Jersey Republican mayor was removed from his position after his party ousted him over a flag controversy. Rochelle Park Mayor Perrin Mosca refused to fly a Pride flag outside town hall because he feels any flag that singles out a particular group should not be flown. The only flag that should be visible is the American flag, which now-ex-Mayor Mosca felt was the consensus (via News 12 The Bronx)

A mayor was removed from office in one Bergen County town after objecting to the raising of a Pride flag at town hall.

Rochelle Park Mayor Perrin Mosca was ousted last week when council members from both parties voted to remove him from office.

It all stems from a contentious May 24 Rochelle Park Council meeting when Mosca objected to the town flying a Pride flag outside of town hall for Pride Month.

“A majority had agreed that as a township we would not put up any flags that singled out one group over another group. That should have been the end of the issue,” Mosca said.

But instead, it was the end of the line for the Republican mayor, and last week the three other Republicans on the committee joined the lone Democrat who promoted the Pride flag – Councilwoman Linda Boniface – to force Mosca out of the mayor’s chair. Those Republican council members have also accused Mosca of missing council meetings.

Mosca is still on the ballot for November but will be running for office without support from the Rochelle Park GOP.
