Phil Murphy clearly fancies himself the Soiled Harry of the Backyard State.
Over the weekend, the wannabe Jersey robust man primarily instructed the Trump administration and border czar Tom Homan: “Go forward, make my day.”
Then he ran and hid behind his spokesperson.
In an interview with Blue Wave New Jersey, a progressive grassroots group, Murphy boasted that he and the primary woman have been hiding an unlawful alien within the room above the storage of their Middletown mansion.
“Tammy and I have been speaking about — I don’t need to get into an excessive amount of element, however there may be somebody in our broader universe whose immigration standing isn’t but on the level that they’re attempting to get it to. And we stated, you already know what? Let’s have her reside at our home above our storage,” he stated.
“And good luck to the feds coming in to attempt to get her,” he added — issuing a problem to the Trump administration whereas ensconced within the security of the far left’s bosom.
This man resides in a Hollywood fantasy: casting himself as an ICE-fighting superhero with some imaginary migrant damsel in misery to avoid wasting. However that film won’t ever come to theaters as a result of Murphy solely suits within the swimsuit of Bulls–t Man.
The guv’s rep was fast to wash up his mess, saying his statements have been “misinterpreted” and “nobody has ever lived within the residence” below such circumstances.
Murphy, who grew up in Massachusetts, isn’t new to cosplaying that stereotypical Jersey angle honed by watching too many “Actual Housewives” reruns. On the Democratic Nationwide Conference’s state roll name final August, he puffed out his chest as “Born within the USA” blared over the audio system.
“Everyone, I”m Governor Phil Murphy. We’re from Jersey, child. And also you’re not,” he stated.
Err … okay. He then bragged about New Jersey caring about ladies’s rights — earlier than handing the microphone to a person in a purple gown who declared that he used she/her pronouns.
However Murphy, a former Goldman Sachs exec, has Hollywood casting competitors for the function of a wannabe road fighter within the statehouse.
Illinois Democrat governor JB Pritzker issued a blustery warning to Trump again in November, saying, “I need to remind you {that a} pleased Warrior is a Warrior. You come for my individuals, you come by me.”
Practically two weeks in the past, Pritzker participated in an egregious case of what people on the left prefer to name “disinformation” — one thing they recurrently remind us is a risk to our democracy.
A narrative circulated in Chicago that ICE had come to raid Hamline Elementary Faculty however have been held on the door by a principal who stated, “We won’t open our doorways for ICE.”
An keen Pritzker then unfold the false story on X.
“After every week of Republicans sowing worry and chaos, the primary experiences of raids in Chicago are at an elementary faculty,” Pritzker posted on X. “Focusing on youngsters and separating households is merciless and un-American.”
Besides it wasn’t ICE officers — who’re rounding up precise criminals. It was the Secret Service, investigating a risk within the neighborhood. Oops.
Fox Information’ Invoice Melugin famous that nobody in Pritzker’s workplace checked with regulation enforcement businesses earlier than spreading the lie. Perhaps, simply perhaps it’s the Dems who’re “sowing worry and chaos.”
Hey, so long as these tales maintain the activists engaged and enraged.
Each Murphy and Pritzker aren’t sending a message of energy, however quite one which legal guidelines are supposed to be damaged — by virtuous leaders like themselves, choosing and selecting guidelines they like and outwardly opposing the enforcement of others.
They’ll do something in service of their selective adherence, whether or not that’s inventing an imaginary migrant within the storage or spreading false tales about regulation enforcement.
Each their scripts have plenty of holes in them.
