Trenton councilwoman's latest racist comments draw rebuke from Latino, Black lawmakers

Vaughn asked Latino business administrator if he spoke English


Trenton City Councilwoman Robin Vaughn is in hot water again, with Black and Brown legislators issuing a strong worded statement scolding her for asking the city’s Latino business administrator if he spoke English.

The Trentonian first reported that Vaughn “lashed out” at Adam Cruz, the city’s administrator, and then asked, “do you not understand English?”

The New Jersey Legislative Latino and Black caucuses smacked Vaughn in a joint statement, but stopped short of calling for her resignation.

“The inappropriate and hateful language used by the councilwoman is unapologetically prejudiced and anti-Latino in tone and language,” the caucuses said. “New Jersey is better than this and expects better from its public officials, it is because of its diversity and multi-cultural differences that our state is an ideal place to live.”
