That should have been the end of the issue,\u201d Mosca said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The four other members of the township committee \u2014 three Republicans and one Democrat \u2014 voted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/republican-mayor-betrayed-refusing-fly-lgbt-pride-flag-kicked-party-members\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">remove Mosca<\/a> as mayor.<\/p>\n<p>This is a strange story, even by the standards of local politics.<\/p>\n<p>For one thing, Mosca\u2019s stated objection to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-detroit-area-city-bans-lgbtq-pride-flags-public-property\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cpride\u201d flag<\/a> might strike the reader as more milquetoast than principled. This is not to question the now-former mayor\u2019s sincerity, but his objection hardly constitutes an all-out assault on woke madness.<\/p>\n<p>According to the News 12 report, \u201cRepublican council members have also accused Mosca of missing council meetings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/trendingpoliticsnews.com\/gop-mayor-ousted-refusing-pride-flag\/?utm_source=collin&#038;utm_medium=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trending Politics<\/a> reported that Mosca already had fallen out of favor with the local Republican Party. \u201cGOP Municipal Chairman Frank Valenzuela accused Mosca of embarrassing the township and hindering its progress, asserting that he prioritized personal ideals over what is best for the residents of Rochelle Park,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n<p>Now we are getting to the ominous heart of the matter.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>For present purposes, it makes no difference whether Mosca actually did shirk his responsibilities or hinder the township\u2019s progress. That is for the people of Rochelle Park to decide in November\u2019s election, when they will have an opportunity to vote him back into office.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>What matters is that the committee members did not justify dismissing the mayor on those grounds. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kamala-harris-confirms-biden-admin-incompetent-think-humiliating-fireplace-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">competence-related concerns<\/a> came into the story after the fact. They justified dismissing him over the \u201cpride\u201d flag.<\/p>\n<p>In short, whatever their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lack-of-interest-shut-down-a-pennsylvania-drag-show-local-democrats-blamed-it-on-republican-hate\/\" title=\"Lack Of Interest Shut Down A Pennsylvania Drag Show. Local Democrats Blamed It On Republican \u2018Hate\u2019\">actual reasons<\/a> for ousting the mayor, the committee members felt most confident in citing the flag issue.<\/p>\n<p>If the ominous aspect of all this is not yet clear, one historical analogy should help illustrate.<\/p>\n<p>In \u201cWild Swans: Three Daughters of China\u201d (1991), author Jung Chang offered a chilling, first-hand account of China\u2019s Cultural Revolution, when the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-mayor-removed-after-refusing-to-back-down-to-the-woke-mob-during-pride-month\/\" title=\"GOP Mayor Ousted for Defying Woke Mob in Pride Month\">entire country fell victim<\/a> to the Cult of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/report-joe-biden-quotes-communist-mass-murderer-mao-zedong-fundraiser\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mao Zedong<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Images of Chairman Mao proliferated. Copies of Mao quotations replaced actual schoolbooks. Classes came to a halt as teachers were either terrorized or arrested.

A group of students went to the neighbor woman\u2019s apartment and beat her senseless. They never found a photo of Chiang Kai Shek.<\/p>\n<p>The photo, of course, might or might not have existed. The woman who appeared at the school simply had a personal vendetta against her neighbor.<\/p>\n<p>For all we know, the bloodied and beaten neighbor woman might have been a liar, a cheat, a miserable human being (though unlikely given the enemy she made).<\/p>\n<p>What chills the modern reader, however, is that the woman with the vendetta knew that amid the prevailing madness, the best way to exact revenge on her neighbor was to accuse her of anti-regime sympathies.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>According to the Rochelle Park Township Committee, is the former mayor\u2019s primary guilt any different?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Perhaps the Chinese neighbor woman also failed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/group-sues-to-block-dc-law-allowing-immigrants-to-vote-in-local-elections\/\" title=\"Group Sues to Block DC Law Allowing Immigrants to Vote in Local Elections\">attend council meetings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/republican-mayor-removed-refusing-back-woke-mob-pride-month\/\">Republican Mayor Removed After Refusing to Back Down to the Woke Mob During Pride Month<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News 12 The Bronx revealed that Rochelle Park&#8217;s governing committee removed the mayor, Perrin Mosca, due to his refusal to display the &#8220;pride&#8221; flag at town hall.
