Plainfield Township trustee denies derogatory post
PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — The Plainfield Township Board of Trustees has called a special meeting Friday amid concerns about a post on a trustee’s social media — a post he told News 8 he did not make.
The post attributed to the Facebook account of Plainfield Township Trustee Bob Reminga called for violence against Muslims.
On Thursday night, Reminga denied ever making the post and said he was working to find out how it ended up on his page. He said he didn’t know how it happened and added he believes it was photoshopped.
“The first I saw it was today,” he told News 8.
Reminga said he was completely unaware of the post until News 8 spoke with him Thursday. When the post was shown to him, he said he would work “to get to the bottom of it” and reiterated he didn’t know it ended up on his page.
“I’m going to make a complaint with Facebook and see … I also have that other account that I can’t get rid of,” he said.
