Nicholas Ferrara abandoned his position as a candidate for the Hamilton school board on Saturday, Aug. 20, just one day after several media outlets reported his comment on a January Gab post stating that he was “FOR execution of the marxist/communists jews,” according to NJ.com.
Meanwhile, Monica Quaste, one of Ferrara’s two running mates, issued a public apology and called the former candidate’s words “repulsive.”
“I apologize for not vetting my running mate I chose to run on a slate for school board,” Quaste writes.
“I trusted we all shared the same values, sadly this was not the case. I am so sorry for his offensive and repulsive statements they do not reflect my beliefs.”
Quaste and Ferrara’s other running mate, Stacy Byrne, are running on a ticket called “Traditional Education Advocates” and intend to keep their positions in the race, the outlet says.
