MORRIS COUNTY — A Building Department employee in Morristown, Tia Ellzey, made a controversial post on her Facebook page, stating, “The shooter had one job,” about the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
The post has sparked outrage in the community, with residents and officials condemning the remarks. Such comments are not only inappropriate but also dangerous. They do not reflect the values of the community or the standards we expect from our public employees.
“There is no place in a public position for someone advocating for a President’s assassination. This incident underscores the deep decline in the standards of our country and its public officials. There is no excuse for this,” stated Morristown Attorney Andrew Delaney.
The incident has prompted broader discussions about public employees’ responsibilities on social media and the balance between free speech and professional conduct.
