NJ sheriff facing calls to resign over racist remarks caught on tape

Source: CBS News

A New Jersey sheriff recorded making disparaging remarks about African-Americans and the state's first Sikh attorney general apologized Thursday night.
Bergen County Sheriff Michael Saudino said the remarks were "not representative of the person that I am ..."

On the recording, Saudino is heard saying Attorney General Gurbir Grewal was appointed because of "the turban."

He also said Gov. Phil Murphy's policies would allow blacks to "come in, do whatever the (expletive) they want, smoke their marijuana, do this, do that. And don't worry about it. We'll tie the hands of cops."

On the tape, Saudino also wonders aloud whether Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver, who is not married, is gay.
