Jacob is running against Republican incumbent Leonard Lance, R-7, for the district comprised of all of Hunterdon County, as well as portions of Essex, Morris, Somerset, Union and Warren counties.
Levin said he believes that this incident is directly linked to the increased prevalence of "casual racism" being spread by politicians like Donald Trump, Scott Garrett, and Leonard Lance, who Levin said "recently promoted a racist article attempting to link Peter Jacob and the Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooter."
Of course Todd Mitchell - mealy mouthed Lance's spokes jerk accuses Peter of race baiting. Of course.
Jacobs campaign has been told point blank by the media that they are not interested in Congressional races.
I wonder - are they paying attention now?

Our incumbent posted on his FB page an image of Peter next to Omar Mateen.
The dog whistle was clear and loud.
This was done to scare weak minded people who can't tell the difference between someone of Middle Eastern ethnic heritage . . . And an American of Indian heritage.
One murdered people in Miami.
One is a hometown boys whose parents showed up to America with $20 and a two month old and built a business - in his opponent's district.
What is most disturbing is that I pay that man's salary and he had the audacity to do that. If an employee did that in my work - they would have been fired.

Next time Lance knocks on my door I will open it and slam it in his face.
I might even throw tomatoes at his float at the Christmas Parade. That's what my neighbors across the street said they are doing this year. . Older white couple who Obama flipped from being Republicans to Democratic in 2008.
I told "him" to knock it off and "she" said Nope! We can get away with it.
