A response to an anti-Semitic tweet turns into an online controversy for a New Jersey mayor.
John Ducey, who is the mayor of Brick Township on the Jersey Shore, was keeping up his policy of responding to all Twitter posts when one of his responses got him in hot water.
Ducey responded, writing,"Our parks security has started already. Just call police with any problems and they will send them out." Ducey wrote that he felt he had three options: to directly confront the anti-Semitism, which"I chose not to do because acknowledging the statement would validate it and cause hurt to many."
