Lackawanna County commissioners have recently taken action against Community Relations Manager Rick Notari following an inappropriate comment he made on social media in response to the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. The commissioners have announced that Notari has been indefinitely suspended from his position.
Commissioner Matt McGloin emphasized that Lackawanna County's government is committed to serving all residents regardless of their political affiliations. He stated that in light of the attempt on a former president and current presidential candidate's life, it is crucial for the country to unite in condemning political violence rather than exacerbating existing divisions through inappropriate social media commentary.
Lackawanna County, located in northeastern Pennsylvania and home to the city of Scranton, has taken a firm stance against such behavior.
Reports indicate that Notari's comment on social media was in response to a post by sports commentator Rich Eisen regarding the shooting. Notari allegedly wrote, 'It’s a shame the guy missed,' a statement that has led to his suspension from his role as Community Relations Manager.
