Two New Jersey radio hosts have been suspended for 10 days after making derogatory comments about the state’s attorney general, Gurbir S. Grewal, including calling him “turban man.”
On Wednesday, the radio hosts, Dennis Malloy and Judi Franco of New Jersey 101.5/WKXW-FM, were discussing Mr. Grewal’s recent announcement in which he asked prosecutors to delay cases concerning marijuana-related offenses for a month.
Mr. Molloy stated he was never going to learn Mr. Grewal’s name, and instead opted to call him “turban man,” according to audio of the broadcast.
“Listen, if that offends you, then don’t wear the turban and I’ll remember your name,” Mr. Malloy said. He then asked Ms. Franco if “turban man” was highly offensive.
