The new Town Supervisor Matt Slater, who is also a Republican, said he was appalled and disgusted by Pomposello’s comments. Patel said he hopes the new generation of Republicans will be different.
“Donald Trump’s behavior as president gave permission for the worst elements in the Republican Party to say and do things openly that they would never have dared to in the past.” “It is not surprising that one individual at a Republican gathering should shout out a vile obscene remark about my nationality,” Patel said.
Patel told Yorktown Newsthat the use of the slur did not surprise him. Pomposello has now resigned from his position with the Yorktown Republican Town Committee, Long Island News reports.
