FOX 29's Jennifer Joyce reports. MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Pa. - Montgomery County Commissioner Joseph Gale released a statement on riots and looting in Philadelphia and called Black Lives Matter a "radical left-wing hate group that's perpetrating urban domestic terror." At his home in Plymouth meeting, he refused to make a statement and instead, his father answered the door. “Yeah, he’s not doing interviews,” said Gale’s dad.
Pat Washeleski, a resident of Plymouth meeting, didn’t think that Gale’s comments were appropriate or well-timed. “He’s only adding fuel to the fire by making those kinds of comments,” he said. ”I would certainly expect him to tender his resignation.” Many voices across Montgomery County echo Washelski’s sentiments.
