The meeting, which occurred on May 24, ultimately led to Mosca&#8217;s ousting from his position weeks later, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/newjersey.news12.com\/rochelle-park-nj-mayor-reportedly-ousted-after-pride-flag-comments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News 12<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mosca strongly objected to flying the LGBT flag outside of the town hall throughout the month of June. He argued that putting up flags that singled out one group over another was not in line with the township&#8217;s values. &#8220;That should have been the end of the issue,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<p>However, instead of settling the matter, three Republicans on the council voted with the lone Democrat to remove Mosca from his position as mayor. It is important to note that Mosca will retain his seat as a member of the township committee.<\/p>\n<p>Following the vote, Deputy Mayor Jennifer Appice was promoted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/anchorage-mayor-eases-mask-mandate-for-vaccinated-people-in-certain-settings\/\" title=\"Anchorage Mayor Eases Mask Mandate For Vaccinated People In Certain Settings\">acting mayor<\/a> on an interim basis. The township committee will soon vote on someone to finish the remainder of Mosca&#8217;s mayoral term.<\/p>\n<p>As the situation unfolds, it remains unclear whether Appice intends to display a &#8220;pride&#8221; flag as acting mayor.<\/p>\n<p>Mosca, who is running for re-election in November, plans to continue his campaign for another term. However, council members have expressed grievances about his stance on the &#8220;pride&#8221; flag, as well as his attendance record at meetings.<\/p>\n<p>Rochelle Park, a community of just under 6,000 people located about 12 miles west of Manhattan, has been at the center of this controversy. Mosca firmly believes that private flags do not belong on public property and that only flags representing the entire community should be displayed.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the backlash, Mosca stands by his position, stating, &#8220;All other flags will only create division and open up our township to a myriad of other issues. I am not the only one who believes this to be the best policy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold and what impact it will have on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/philly-dem-mayoral-primary-winner-hospitalized-skips-victory-party\/\" title=\"Philly Dem Mayoral Primary Winner Hospitalized, Skips Victory Party.\">upcoming mayoral election<\/a> in November.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/republican-mayor-betrayed-refusing-fly-lgbt-pride-flag-kicked-party-members\/\">The Western Journal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A New Jersey mayor was ousted by his own party for opposing the display of an LGBT &#8220;pride&#8221; flag at city hall.
