MONROE (Middlesex) — Republicans are demanding the resignation of Township Council President Miriam Cohen after she made derogatory comments about two GOP candidates for the council.
And although Cohen later apologized for calling her adversary a "pig," she told New Jersey 101.5 on Friday that the word was probably "the nicest thing I could say" about a man who often disparages people online and who has faced calls for his own resignation from the school board for comments he has made.
Cohen's remark came at the end of Monday's meeting held using Zoom. The meeting had ended when Cohen, 80, said that Melody Amantea-Henry and Timothy Eosso would be back every meeting to ask questions.
