The Shame Belongs to Tong as Cretins Protest Emons Seminar.

Beware the unnamed “concerned citizens.” They are at it again and once more their innocent target is Jane Emons, the former judge of the Superior Court who was denied a vote on her renomination in 2018.

Judge Emons will be speaking on ethics at a Fairfield County Bar Association seminar and her miscreant detractors are unhappy. Judge Emons, readers may recall, was the target of anti-Semitic abuse during her confirmation proceeding. William Tong, then the House co-chair of the legislature’s judiciary committee, abandoned Judge Emons and refused to allow a vote on her renomination, though she had more than the 76 votes needed to win.

Tong, at the time, was taking to his fainting couch as he fretted that attorney general rival Chris Mattei would win delegate votes in Hartford with the support of a local Emons detractor, state Representative Minnie Gonzalez.

The “concerned citizens” in an email speak of shame and Judge Emons. The belongs to William Tong, who gave assistance and a victory to the virus of anti-Semitism.
