A flyer making the rounds throughout Edison, New Jersey, has caught the attention of Gov. Phil Murphy, who slammed it for its outright racism against Indian Americans.
The New Jersey Globe reports that Murphyâs campaign condemns the flyer, which targeted Indian Americans of Gujarati origin by preying on decades of prejudice against Pakistan and Muslims.
âWe strongly condemn the divisive, hate-filled campaign flyer being circulated in the Edison mayoral race,â said Mollie Binotto, Murphyâs campaign manager, in the report. âThese unacceptable and cheap tactics seek to exploit racial animosity for political gain and have no place in Edison or anywhere else in New Jersey. Voters in Edisonâs diverse communities will reject this behavior on June 8.â
