Hateful Posts Emerge: Past NJ-3 Hopeful Drops Out Of Different Race

MERCER COUNTY, NJ — Nicholas J. Ferrara, who unsuccessfully ran in June's Republican Primary with the ultimate goal of unseating Andy Kim in November, was said to be dropping out of a different race after hateful posts he made on social media surfaced last week.

Ferrara's posts on the social media platform Gab called for the "execution of the Marxist/communist jews," who he said were "fake jew luciferean synagogue of Satan f*****s.”

His posts were first tweeted by Politico reporter Matt Friedman.

Ferrara previously ran in the GOP primary for New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District. He garnered 2,817 votes and lost to Bob Healey.

More recently, he was among 11 candidates seeking three seats on the Hamilton Township School Board in the upcoming Nov. 8 election.
