A city councillor in Hamilton says a judge who reportedly wore a hat showing support for Donald Trump in the courtroom should step down or be removed from the bench.

Coun. Matthew Green spoke out on social media Friday following a report in The Globe and Mail that Judge Bernd Zabel — who works in a Hamilton courthouse — wore a hat that read “Make America Great Again,” a campaign slogan used by the U.S. president-elect.

In his statement, Green said Ontario’s judicial system should steer clear of politics.

“I certainly would not feel like I was getting an unbiased decision if I walked into a court of law and saw a ’Make America Great Again’ hat, knowing that this week the Ku Klux Klan is about to hold a victory rally for … Trump in North Carolina,” he said Saturday.

The city councillor called on the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice to remove Zabel from the bench if he does not resign, and the Hamilton Spectator reported that a complaint against Zabel has been filed with the Ontario Judicial Council.
