NJ Democrat won't resign after tweet about Abraham Lincoln assassination, Trump
A New Jersey Democrat is refusing to resign after a post-Election Day tweet referencing Abraham Lincoln's assassination surfaced Wednesday. Chris Emrich, a member of Collingswood's Democratic Committee, made what he claims was a "stupid" remark when responding to critics of The Lincoln Project, a committee of Republicans against the reelection of President Trump, according to a copy of the tweets obtained by Fox News. After a Twitter user dubbed the group the "Stinkin' Project" Emrich replied, "need a John Wilkes Booth Project imo," according to a copy of the tweets. Emrich's tweet is a reference to the man who assassinated former President Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in April 1865.
