Senator Menendez Comm Officer Launches Derogatory Insult at Toms River

TOMS RIVER, NJ – Michael Zhadanovsky, the communications officer for New Jersey U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, slandered the Township of Toms River, comparing “Toms River man” to “Florida Man”.

“Toms River Man= NJ version of Florida Man,” Zhadonovsky tweeted.

The post was in reference to a two-hour chase by police in Hackensack of a Toms River man who drove his car into the Hackensack River.

He got just five likes and 210 views on his post from earlier this week. His off-color joke was dead on arrival.

Zhadanovsky made the reference to Toms River residents, a Republican stronghold in New Jersey to Florida residents, being demonized for their overwhelming support of their Governor, Ron DeSantis.

Zhadanovsky and Democrats have Florida and DeSantis as their number two trigger man, behind former U.S. President Donald J. Trump.

Each election cycle, Toms River and Ocean County residents overwhelmingly reject Menendez, who was accused by federal prosecutors of engaging in prostitution with minors.

During his political corruption trial, federal prosecutors alleged Menendez may have had sex with child hookers while visiting the Dominican Republic with his pal, convicted felon Salomon Melgen.

Not surprisingly, Zhadanovsky is the former Deputy Press Secretary of Governor Phil Murphy who has cut millions of dollars in school funding to school children in Toms River since taking office.
