Ed Durr is a nationally recognized political figure in New Jersey after he spent just $153 to beat the state’s most powerful Democrat in the State Senate, Steve Sweeney.
Now, he’s fighting Muslim rights activists after tweeting messages against the Islamic faith and the prophet Mohammed.
“Mohammed was a pedophile! Islam is a false religion! Only fools follow muslim teachings! It is a cult of hate,” Durr posted in 2019. Durr also called U.S. Senator Robert Menendez a pedophile.
The left also criticized Durr today, for his posts against Vice President Kamala Harris and for comparing Phil Murphy’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates to Jewish rights being taken away from them during the rise of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany.
“With every step toward tyranny, the further we are from freedom,” Durr wrote.
Durr later apologized for the comments to WHYY News.
“I’m a passionate guy. And I say things in the heat of the moment. And if I said anything in the past that hurt anybody’s feelings, I sincerely apologize,” Durr told Tennyson Donyea “I support everybody’s right to worship in any manner. They choose to God of their choice. I support all people. And I support everybody’s rights. And that’s what I’m here for, to work for the people and support their rights.”
